New Major Release: DoItFast4U! 1.1.0

[Eyes`Only]

DoItFast4U! v.1.1.0 is now available at http://doitfast4u.doom9.org/DoItFast4U.v.1.1.0.exe.

Changes in version 1.1.0:

- Revamped GUI uses Tree format to display DVD contents.
- Added ability to select non-contiguous PGCs for demuxing.
- Added audio delay to .ac3 filenames.
- Added End PGC duration info to the VTS Attributes section.
- Calculates bitrate needed for main movie VTS depending on the bitrate you choose for extras VTSes.
- Fixed PAL .sst bug.
- .sst converter is given full path of .idx to remove compatibility issues.
- Added control for user to choose bitrate to encode extras VTSes.
- If a VIDEO_TS is created it creates a CCEdata.txt containing a list of all .avses and all calculated bitrates. For use with DoCCE4U from BBWoof!
- Reduced CPU usage while waiting for apps to finish.
- Added ability to get size of assets in subdirectories with the DVDCalc.
- Right-click on VTS now opens the corresponding .ifo in ifoedit.
- Vobid subs/cc demux fixed. (cc closes automatically now).
- Vobid subs/cc demux fixed. (VTSes missing _0.vob files still demux).
- Vobid subs/cc demux fixed. (.idx with language not specified still demux).
- Clicking on a PGC changes focus to corresponding VTS.
- HDD Demux now outputs files to <workingdirectory>\Demux.
- HDD Demux now does multiple VTSes.
- VobID Sub ripping no longer gives empty .idx/.sub.
- Sub processing now removes any .ssts that do not contain bitmaps - (referred to in log window as 'empty .ssts').
- Stream selection now available for Audio and Subs (Per VTS).
- GUI Resized to fit 800 x 600 desktops.
- Pure interlaced NTSC detection implemented, .avs still uses - Decomb/Telecide/Decimate but possibility is there to use a better .avs..
- Audio files diagnosed for bitrate which is then added to the filename.
- Improved memory usage.
- Multiple Main Movie VTSes detected (episodic DVDs, etc).
- Ability to cancel and close opened applications during mid-demux added.
- Added an AVS Editor for customizing the .avs scripts. (use #NOPULL in the script to specify to add ".nodrop" to the filenames).
- Create VIDEO_TS no longer locks the main window while executing.
- Added settings for adjusting number of passes to use in CCE for main VTS and extras VTSes.
- VobID Demux no longer gives multiple audio for the same VobID.
- Added more Integration with DoCCE4U, including ability to open/start automatically.
- Basic User Guide rewritten.
- Added audio notification for completion/errors.
- Bitrate calculation used the last chosen DVD Size from the DVD Calc for it's computations.
- VobID Demux uses intelligent filesize detection to determine incomplete vobids to delete.
- CCE Chapter list now forced to output always.
- Log file always output to root of project.

Known Issues:

- In some instances, 4:3 VTSes from PAL DVDs cause the sub demux to crash. If anyone experiences this, please email me with the exact title of the DVD that is doing it! If someone could donate an original DVD that has this problem, that would also be helpful!

w00psie! Well, ain't this a nice beginning to the thread! LOL

[fourtyfour]

servus...

First of all, congratulations for 1.1.0.0 ;)

Testet DIF4U with StarWars EP2.

MultiPGC movie with a lot of subtitle and 2 Angle.
I think the right movie for testing performance of newer version :D
(singlePGC aren´t a problem for DIF4U, so I decided a more pretentious movie for testing :D)

Just selected VTS01 for DIF4U: (6 subtitle; 3 audio in every PGC; mounted ISO)

Vobsub PGC: all Split by VobID

Well, it´s work, but very slow :(
PGC 1 have a lenght about 2 hours, so a longer vobsub duration is ok.
But PGC 2-13 are just a view seconds and duration nearly as long as PGC 1!

So the overall duration are about 2.5 hours!
If I check +CC too, this overall duration will rise up dramaticly!

I don´t know why it takes so much time, but I think ripping subtitle manualy by SubRip will take less time than this one.

Do you have any ideas why vobsub need so much time for extract subtitles/+cc ?

Hardware P4 2.4 Ghz 512MB Ram and fast HDDs.

Second run:
Without subtitle/+cc and vobsubPGC creation, Only split by VobID selected.

Overall duration:
25 minutes!

BTW about the green progress beam:
This is for every step new, right?
A new progress beam for full duration would be great :)

New Bug:

Could you use IFOEdit 0.95 for DIF4U?
My version corrupt sometimes, cause 0.94 on system.
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=37528&highlight=ifoedit+0.94

[Eyes`Only]

As usual, the big intent was to get functionality working first, then work on speed improvements. VobID has long had a history of not working completely correct, so I attempted to get that fixed as well as I could (new detection of duplicate vobids and their sizes, etc).

Vobsubbing takes a while because it goes byte by byte through the file, for complete accuracy.

Although it does take a while, I think you'll find there's not a more accurate utility like this out there in the world!

Oh as for ifoedit, simply replace the ifoedit.exe in the DoItFast4U install directory with whatever version you desire, keeping the filename the exact same. I'll add a newer version to future rlses.

I do plan to do more detection and not vobsub if you demux a duplicate vobid, but that's tricky and I didn't want to delay 1.1.0 by tackling that first.

Just FYI:

To-Do List=

- PGC size threshold (automatically deselect PGCs that are smaller than xxx mb)
- AVS 2.5 support (oooh this one should be a nice bit of fun)
- (possible feature, not sure yet) ability to configure per-PGC instead of VTS. This one could make it a lot more lengthy of a process to configure DIF4U before hitting "Do It!" though :(
- Better detection for when to vobsub and when not to.
- Think of more wacky ideas to make life better for us perfectionists!

[baker]

quote from me in the other thread:

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 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 looking great.

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.

Baker

-----------------------------------------

Well first off I am a bit dissapointed you never replied to this as obviously detecting interlaced material is a big thing to use pal users... And I would like your opinion on re-encoding the extras also.(perhaps I should be bringing the progressive option up with bb woof first though....)


Anyway the real reason I am posting this is to tell you that the AVS from the still frame thingy is called "VTS__04_P02.16~9_1" and has no indictation that it should not be re-encoded.

baker

[Eyes`Only]

I didn't respond to your previous posting on purpose, as when I get irritated, it's really better off if I don't post. I'm calmed down a bit now so...

The quality issues show lack of knowledge of how to do things, not something I can control. Users that have been using this tool and our methods know that our results far surpass anything you can do with DVD2One or the like.

So when you say your quality was terrible, that shows that you did something wrong. What? I don't know, but I have an idea. Spiderman is a very complex DVD with a lot of reused vobids. Reauthoring by vobid is the only way to get the correct size/quality from it, as far as I remember.

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. Surely based on whose assumption? Do some research yourself, and if you can find a way to detect it, I'll implement it. NO software package to date that I know of can detect PAL interlacing correctly. Not DVD2SVCD, not dvd2avi, NONE.

Well first off I am a bit dissapointed you never replied to this as obviously detecting interlaced material is a big thing to use pal users... And I would like your opinion on re-encoding the extras also.(perhaps I should be bringing the progressive option up with bb woof first though....)
Anyway the real reason I am posting this is to tell you that the AVS from the still frame thingy is called "VTS__04_P02.16~9_1" and has no indictation that it should not be re-encoded.

From what I understand, extras look better deinterlaced (let's not start a flame war about this.. I know opinions differ but apparently Baker feels interlaced doesnt look well, and many others feel the same. I myself have no opinion as I do NTSC). I provide this option with the 'fielddeinterlace()' checkbox. Uncheck autodetect and check that, and then demux your extras. See if that gives you better results.

That still frame was one frame? The flag to not cce is attached to the .avs file usually (avs-no.cce). Please attach or email to me and I'll see why it wasn't flagged.

[fourtyfour]

servus...

Hey buddie, your tool works perfect. :)
That´s all minor things. ;)

About the ToDo:

Maybe an "advanced section" could help.
So everyone who don´t know exactly what he can do could set vobsub all etc. and start ´do it´.
If someone will have more possibilities for faster processing, he can use advanced options like to choose PGCs (the VTS/PGC Tree visible/unvisible with advanced button)

So everyone can choose what he want. :)

About Ifoedit:
OK, I thought there is some code in DIF4U for opening the 0.94 :D

A optical bug:
Could you rename these file:
VTS__01_-81V01-448K-[0ms]-ch6Deutsch.AC3
to
VTS__01_-81-V01-448K-[0ms]-ch6Deutsch.AC3 ?

It´s better if you have more than one PGC.

That´s all for the moment :D

[Alex787]

I'm new to this software, so please bear with me, does this software have a burning tool?

[timekills]

*sigh*

Amazing. I imagine Eyes' might take a while to respond to that, too. :)

Great work, by the way, Eyes, as usual.

[F4T4L]

I must admit, I wasnt a fan of this program when it first came out, but once it started using CCE I changed my mind quickly :). Congrats on a great program !.

My idea is to implement templates for the ripping, for instance, one could choose how they want the DVD ripped. Example :

1. Main Movie only
2. Main Movie + Menus
3. Main Movie + All Extras (complete)

And then maybe an advanced options for the templates, so one can simply select streams to strip, and/or Extras to skip.

As for me, I would like to get the Main Movie, with sterams I want, and the Menu :). I am all quality hehe.

Hope this post gives you some ideas on improvement. Anyways, good luck in your programming :D.

[jerschwab]

Thanks for a great program... and keep up the good work! I feel this is the way to go with reauthoring DVD's the right way (didn't take me long to toss IC and D21)!

Thanks again!

(now if I could only figure out how to reauthor Mallrats)

[d4g]

ok i was doing a movie and i set extras to 5 and main movie to 4 and noticed when the process completed ripping that the cce.txt file was saying all of the pgcs was on 5 pass even the main movie...

correct me if im wrong but on the movie shouldnt it be 4 pass if i set it to it....



Congrads on a masterpice of software......

D..

[d4g]

forgot to ask what does this mean in the doit fast 4 u subtitles section


instead of a language it shows this (..)

does this man it doesnt know it or is this a forced sub....or what could someone please explain what it means.....

thanx

D..

[ShaneZ]

No, DoItFast4U does not include a burning tool. It automates the process of making a DVD backup so you do not have to worry about all the individual steps that you otherwise would have to do.

[Eyes`Only]

Thanks for all the support guys. Reminder.. If anyone has one of those 2 items I am looking for on my homepage lying around, I could really use them!

instead of a language it shows this (..)

does this man it doesnt know it or is this a forced sub....or what could someone please explain what it means..... Quite simply, it means 'unknown language'. I figured it was better than 'UK' :D

ok i was doing a movie and i set extras to 5 and main movie to 4 and noticed when the process completed ripping that the cce.txt file was saying all of the pgcs was on 5 pass even the main movie... Not sure what's causing this. I'll fix it in my first beta release though. For now, I think the workaround is to change those boxes to what you want, then save the settings by closing the program. When you open DoItFast4U back up, the settings should be there and will now be used correctly. Sorry about that!

And then maybe an advanced options for the templates, so one can simply select streams to strip, and/or Extras to skip. Ooh not a fan of the butcher! :angry: (Buffy lingo on purpose) 'nuff said!

A optical bug:

VTS__01_-81V01-448K-[0ms]-ch6Deutsch.AC3

Congrads on a masterpice of software...... Now that's the kind of feedback that brings a smile first thing in the morning.

OK I've answered all the postings, time for some eggs and bacon... *yawn*

[d4g]

ok for those subs i was telling you about (..) there was like um 20 of them but there wasnt anything in them.......they were empty subs....
one thing i like is thta you incorporatewd the forced sub.....sst script that is cool

the other thing is that doitf4u and docce4u calculate the whole project to be the right size in the end....

i noticed in the guides from doom and tril;ight that they do extras seperately and the movie seperately in scenarist because of the different aspect ratios...

but my question is can you do everyhting in scenarist even the extras and main movie in one go and compile a final project of vob files even if the aspect ratio is different between the extras and main movie....coz when u set up scenarist it ask are you doing a 16.9 film or 4.3 film......

this is one major concern for me....

thankyou

D

[Eyes`Only]

From what I can tell, that aspect ratio it asks is only for menus.. Scenarist diagnoses all your m2vs and labels them the correct aspect ratio. Yes, you can do multiVTS in Scenarist without issues, I do it all the time.

[d4g]

just a curiosity....i did training day and all worked great in the machine and on power dvd and ifoedit but when i burnt it to disk it doesnt play properly... i think i must have done somehting wrong and i was checking pgc audio and noticed that the starting sector on all audios were on 0.....so im guessing i must have did a wrong calculation somewhere

quickky ?? what setting should i use on ifo update....

[d4g]

i was just wondering will you implement the new avisynth 2.08 into doit fast 4 u

[baker]

Right sorry it took so long to post but I have been busy. ANyway About me not getting good quailty, you completely missed the point. In some cases where extras take up a lot of room and the film is action based and bright, it can be necessary to resize the extras to half d1 (352x576/480) as this allows for more compression and the quailty is hardly reduced. I simply requested that a bicubic resize function be added so that we can squeeze the extras a little more, I wasnt saying your program gave bad quailty.

Now thats out of the way lets get on with serious mattters,

quote-From what I understand, extras look better deinterlaced (let's not start a flame war about this.. I know opinions differ but apparently Baker feels interlaced doesnt look well, and many others feel the same. I myself have no opinion as I do NTSC).

Yea lets not, I have never encountered many titles before with interlaced content so spidermans my first. For users with progesive tvs (get it???) interlaced material that has been earlier de-interlaced would look better, however de-interlacing a stream means that when people move their hands fast etc... you get a kind of ghosting effect which would not happen if the stream had not have been de-interlaced, but I think interlacing eats up bitrate so I am going to de-interlace from now on anyhow. UPDATE- while trying to de-interlace I have been unsuccessful in removing the lines totally!! Going to try a few more of dcomb.dll's options and see how I get along.

oh yea and that still frame thingy was 7 frames, I have ripped that t2 dvd over 3 times in the last week!!! Please ask aquabubble if he still has the m2v file as I mailed it to him recently.

Anything I can do to help, just please dont go raving over nothing.

Baker

[d4g]

ok small bug in the new release of doitfast for u or its in docce 4 u

when u set automatic start for docce4u in doitfast for u docce4u just opens up it doesnt start encoding......



nothier thing how do u get the subtitles the right colour when u finish the dvd compiling is there some setting thst i can set in scenarist or whatever to make the subtitles like on the original dvd please helpt his ones urgent


Denis

[Eyes`Only]

I'm looking into the non-starting issue. As for the subs, they should be the exact same colors as the original when you compile in Scenarist.

[d4g]

but in scenarist it ask when u strat the sub colour whats that about...
and when i finished the film i had some red subc..... and some normal
is there something in ifoedit that does the sub title copy

[waldok]

d4g, have a look at Trilight Uber guide, you will get all the info on how to set up subtitle colors at the beginning of Scenarist and make them your defaults.
(TRilight suggests yellow as subtitle color, I personally prefer white but that's only a matter of taste).

Waldok:cool:

[Eyes`Only]

Using the default Scenarist colors, you'll get the exact same colors as your original video used. If you've modified these, you should probably change them back!

I found the bug that was causing DoCCE4U not to start. Now here's the question... release another 'final' version (1.0.0c?) or a beta (1.0.0.1). What would you all prefer?

[TeFLoN]

Another final version please sir!

[fourtyfour]

servus...

A optical bug:

VTS__01_-81V01-448K-[0ms]-ch6Deutsch.AC3
to

Makes sense to me! I'll have that in the first beta rls too.


Ehm, another "optical bug". Sorry, but I couldn´t resist :D

could you change
VTS__01_-80V01-448K-[0ms]-ch6English.AC3

to
VTS_01_-V01-80-448K-[0ms]-ch6English.AC3 ?

If you list a multiple PGC movie with old filename, it will list every Stream 0x80 in a row.

Like:
...-80-V01...
...-80-V02...
...-80-V03...

But I think it would be better, every stream should list by VobID:

Like:

...-V01-80...
...-V01-81...
...-V01-82...

If you have to search in a folder with 13 PGCs and 4 audiostreams each, that´s really hell to find the right one ;)

[d4g]

hey eyes i have a audio sync issue witht eh movie rush hour...
i compiled everything snf when i do the dvd play test on the main movie the 6 chan audio is out of sync to the movie......

do u know how to fis this

its say on the file that its in delay of 1019 secs so i dont know how to finish off the movie

[d4g]

release a final version

[d4g]

hi i just noticed on my rencoded extras that the extras a shaky...

do u know what caused this

[Eyes`Only]

hey eyes i have a audio sync issue witht eh movie rush hour...
i compiled everything snf when i do the dvd play test on the main movie the 6 chan audio is out of sync to the movie...... Use ac3 delay corrector found easily on the web (and i think doom9.org).

hi i just noticed on my rencoded extras that the extras a shaky...

do u know what caused thisNo idea.

You really should come to #doom9 and join in our chat. You'll learn a lot more! :p

Fourtyfour: I'll work on changing that but it wont be in the final rls, k?

[d4g]

irc chat dalnet

[d4g]

found it


with ac3 delay do i just put 0 ms

[Eyes`Only]

EFNet. umm no you put the delay so that it pads or cuts the ac3

[d4g]

um u mean put the delay amount in
i did that and it was still out of sync

[fourtyfour]

servus...

Fourtyfour: I'll work on changing that but it wont be in the final rls, k?

No prob.

@ d4g:

Have you ever seen a button called "Edit" ?! :D

[d4g]

Hey eyes.. i was trying to rip a dvd by vob id and noticed that it doesnt produce the the calaclations for the average bitrate and the max bitrate....so how do i know how big to encode the movie

[d4g]

does anyone use cce 2.67 and if so is the quality beter than cce 2.50

[Eyes`Only]

The calc isn't 100% accurate with vobid titles, but it should still attempt calculations. You had 'create video_ts' checked?

[fourtyfour]

servus...

I just did StarWars EP 2 with split by VobID.

It all OK but the framecount bug.

But mikeathome did make a bugfix for this and it works perfect.
Maybe you could use his bufix in DIF4U?
(its a batch based on some freeware tools like vdubmode)

---

Another tool that will be great implemented in DIF4U.
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=44445

RB did a great job for dvd2svcd.
Maybe you can implement this cropp/resize in your Avisynth :)
(thats what I do now manually with fit2disc)

[Doom9]

hmm.. why would dif4u need a resizing tool?

[fourtyfour]

servus...

Well, if you make a full Backup of your disc, you comes often to low bitrate.

And I think resize is better for low bitrate , don´t you?

It´s just a gimmick, but a very nice one :)

[Doom9]

well.. I think when Eyes came up with the line "tools for doing full DVD backup the way it's supposed to be" and I made it the forum motto I think we both meant that the way it's supposed to be = 720x480/576

[fourtyfour]

servus...

OK, no prob.
But for extras it could be very usefull.

I give only ideas for this great tool.

Some are usefull, some are crap.

[Eyes`Only]

Without further ado, Let the BETA TESTING Begin!

Here's the first in the new line: Version 1.1.0.1

http://doitfast4u.doom9.org/DoItFast4U.v.1.1.0.1.exe

Changes:

:cool: Added PGC Streams to the DVD Structure for a better understanding of the DVD.
:cool: Audio stream list shows <not used> if the audio stream does not in fact exist, and those corresponding streams are greyed..
:scared: Bug fixed where CCE Chapter list was not forced to output with DVD Decrypter 3.1.4.0.
:rolleyes: Filenames for Non-PGC demux (vobid/cellid) are now in the form of VTS__05_V02-81-448K-[-66ms]-ch6English.AC3
:cool: Calc now more accurate for multiple-Main-movie DVDs.

Known issues:

:devil: Due to an inconsistency of the .ifo, many times substream 0x20 is reported when it doesn't in fact EXIST! I have no control over this, both my program and DVD Decrypter show this stream even when it doesn't exist, because the .ifo states it as so. Sorry!

[fourtyfour]

servus...

Will try this later the day :)
first time, DIF4U did some weird things with subtitle.(older version)
But I have to check this a second time with the new one before reporting as an error ;)

Thanks for the filename-changing :D

Question about the subtitle:

in "Subtitle streams" StarWarsEP2 shows 6 subtitle. OK

In "DVD Structure" are 12 subtitle.

IfoEdit means 6 subtitle, but 0x2a & 0x2b (the others,too) are "merged" as one.

So what´s the difference between?

BTW: is there a possibility to set 01:00:00;00 for staring subtitle?
(like the mode in subrip)

[-=ViBeZ=-]

Thanx for the update. Probably a dumb question, but how do you use these betas? I double clicked the file & it just opened a blank dos window

[Eyes`Only]

[/quote]IfoEdit means 6 subtitle, but 0x2a & 0x2b (the others,too) are "merged" as one.

So what´s the difference between? [/quote] My app is showing you the actual streams used, not the number of subs.

BTW: is there a possibility to set 01:00:00;00 for staring subtitle?
(like the mode in subrip) That would be bad, sometimes a demuxed m2v starts at 00:59:00:00. No no current feature like that exists in vobsub that I know of.

Thanx for the update. Probably a dumb question, but how do you use these betas? I double clicked the file & it just opened a blank dos window On a normal machine, you just double-click the .exe and it installs (just like the final versions).

[-=ViBeZ=-]

hmmm, I tried that. The other updates/patches work ok. When I download 1.1.1 It is only 4kb. Is this what it should be?

[Eyes`Only]

Absolutely not! It should be 1.65 megs.

[-=ViBeZ=-]

so it should!

Just un-installed flashget & it came down ok :D

[d4g]

Hey eyes i noticed when i click the right buttong on the vts set and it supposed to ipen ifoedit which it does but no information is displayed and byt the way its using ifoedit 0.94 isnt there a 0.95 version



could you look into it thatnx bro

D4g

[fourtyfour]

servus...

Ok here´s my report.

Something is wrong with subtitles split by VobID.

this is was IFOEdit says.

english 0x20,0x21
german 0x22,0x23
german 0x26,0x27
english 0x24,0x25
english 0x28,0x29
german 0x2a,0x2b

this is was DIF4U says:

english 0x20
german 0x21
german 0x22
english 0x23
english 0x24
german 0x25

But this is was comes out after DIF4U in subs:

VTS_01_VSUB_V01-00-English.sst
VTS_01_VSUB_V01-01-English.sst
VTS_01_VSUB_V01-02-Deutsch.sst
VTS_01_VSUB_V01-03-Deutsch.sst
VTS_01_VSUB_V01-04-English.sst
VTS_01_VSUB_V01-05-English.sst

the *.bmp files are still english if english in filename and german if german in filename.

Do you see what´s going wrong with this movie?

[Eyes`Only]

crap! I see the problem. I'll try to have it fixed in the next beta.

[Eyes`Only]

OK, now I didn't realize just how tricky it can be to detect subs!

Here's another beta, where I've at least gotten closer to crackin it! Let me know how it goes.

Changes:

:cool: Added option to check for updates on the web (final and betas)!
:scared: Subs now detected more accurately.
:scared: Trailing '\\' character is eliminated from Working Directory, avoiding '\\\' in CCEData.txt paths.
:cool: Progress bar and new percentage display now accurate while creating VIDEO_TS folder.

Beta testers: Make sure to turn your auto web update on!

http://doitfast4u.doom9.org/DoItFast4U.v.1.1.0.2.exe

edit: No guarantee that subs are correct still, but I'm trying to get them perfect, bit by bit. I've redone almost all the code for subs to compensate for multiple streams per track, so this is very BETA.

d4g: No idea. The latest betas definitely have ifoedit 0.95 in them.

Try this, set up DoitFast4u to rip your movie, hit the Do It button, let DVD Decryptor load up and start ripping the movie.. then hit cancel.

DoitFast4U is now stuck, can't be closed and the program window is blank except for the green progress bar at the bottom which keeps flashing.. right clicking on the program on the task bar doesn't bring anything up, and I'm using a remote program to access my computer, so can't send a ctrl-alt-del right now :)

I have the autodetect video type checked if that matters at all, maybe that's what it's trying to do even tho I've cancelled and told DVD Decryptor to delete the incomplete files?

Report:

DIF4U and *.sst output are exact the same. :)
Good Job Eyes´Only (couldn´t say it often enough :) )

a little bit offtopic:

Do you know why 2 subtitle (like: ID 0x20,0x21 in IFOEdit are subtitle number 1) "merged" to 1?
0x20 is for wide ; 0x21 is for letterbox.

If I set L and W in Scenarist, one subtitle each should be ok?
A wide subtitle stream should be able to use as a letterbox one?


About Vobsub in DIF4U:

If testet Subtitle output with a 42 Seconds PGC with subtitle.
VobSub worked 10 Minutes for a 42 Second Track!

This PGC uses this 2 Cells.

So here´s my question:

How does VobSub work?
Is it possible to create the *.idx for whole movie only without extracting subtitle?
Or is the create-time of *.idx responsible for this long duration?

So with this *.IDX, I can use this file for fast extracting subtitle with SubRip 1.14 (newer versions makes a lot confusing subtitles)
and have a fast solution for the subtitle timecode.

Without the IDX, SubRip are slow,too


@ d4g_

look at this or the other DIF4U thread:
I linked a thread from doom9.org where exactly talked about the IFOEdit "bug". There is also a solution available in this thread.

[d4g]

ok i did one movie with vobid and the calc was out around 400 megabytes..... does anyone know how to calculate exactly when doing it by vobid

thznx D4g

[d4g]

ok i clicked all angles on my dvd but the movie doesnt have angles but what happens is when dvd decrypter gets to the end it stop and say cant rename file for some reason and im using iso image to do the ripping with
but when i click all angles off then it processes it all with no problems......

why does it holt on the renaming part i noticed other people having the same problem but i just cant fix mine ....

thanx
D4G

[Eyes`Only]

why does it holt on the renaming part i noticed other people having the same problem but i just cant fix mine ....
Hmm.. I'll try to explain it in easy terms to understand:

When you click the angle button, DIF4U sends a command to DVDDEC saying 'do angle 1'. DVDDEC says 'what? no angle is here.. guess I'll just do it normally...' and proceeds to demux it normally. Now, second pass, DIF4U says 'do angle 2'. Now, if this disc really had angles, it would do 2,3,4 and so on until there were no more angles. DIF4U detects no more angles by DVDDEC coming back without demuxing anything. Well... when there are no angles, and DIF4U says 'do angle 2', DVD says 'what? still no angles here.. guess I'll just do it normally again', and rips the exact same streams, resulting in the error when it tries to rename, because the file already exists. (Renaming errors from DVDDEC are caused by it trying to append the delay of audio files onto the filename).

Now, luckily, I've watched for weirdness like this, and I have DIF4U only try this pass twice, before moving on. If I just let it go without checking to see if a user had used angles when there wasn't any, it would loop over and over again, see?


If I set L and W in Scenarist, one subtitle each should be ok?
A wide subtitle stream should be able to use as a letterbox one?Yes.

About the vobsub question, it isnt possible to demux the sub with 100% accuracy any other way but starting at the beginning and going til the end, according to Gabest, because vobids flipflop, and the video isn't as continuous as you may think.


DoitFast4U is now stuck, can't be closed and the program window is blank except for the green progress bar at the bottom which keeps flashing.. right clicking on the program on the task bar doesn't bring anything up, and I'm using a remote program to access my computer, so can't send a ctrl-alt-del right now
No idea. I'm assuming it works for everyone else? No other reports have claimed otherwise.

[fourtyfour]

servus...

All right. If it not work another way, I have to do this manually for special movies like EP2.
Thanks for explanation.

About the freeze bug:

I uses DIF4U since Eyes´Only released the first version.
And I never had any problems like these.

About split by VobID:

Why does DIF4U split 1 Angle only by VobID?

I have a structure like this:

PGC1:
Angle 1 (uses VobID 1,2,4,5)
Angle 2 (uses VobID 1,3,4,5)
PGC2
VobID 6
PGC3
VobID 7
.
.

About the Angle:

I think DVDDecrypter does a "wrong" job for split by VobID if a movie have Multiangle.


If I want to rip a movie by VobID, I must select Angle 1 or Angle 2 .
I get only 1,2,4,5,6... or 1,3,4,5,6...

It takes a lot of freespace on HDD that will not be used everytime, cause VobID 1,4,5,6... are still on HDD with another name (Angle1/Angle2)

Maybe a rename processing could be a small solution.

like:

VTS01_VobID_1.vob
VTS01_VobID_2.vob
VTS01_VobID_3.vob

(rename after first run of DIF4U)

instead of
VTS01_Angle1_VobID_1.vob
VTS01_Angle1_VobID_3.vob

VTS01_Angle2_VobID_1.vob
VTS01_Angle2_VobID_2.vob

So DVDDecrypter will ask if any VobID should be overwritten in second run of DIF4U.
I can select no and DVDDec doesn´t decrypt this VobID again. :)
=>I don´t need double size of HDD for this.


What do you think about it?

[Eyes`Only]

What do I think? There shouldn't be angle numbers in the filename for vobid demux. You should be able to click all angles and it demuxes and gets rid of the angle in the filename already. That's the way I designed it. I'll look into it.

[Eyes`Only]

In keeping with my one-new-beta-a-day legacy, I've released 1.1.0.3 with the ability to fix ac3 delays (Thanks to Daniel Ache, the author of AC3 Delay Corrector).

To download, use your web update check in 1.1.0.2.

Changes: found in Help->View Revision History.

So, I´ll do my one-new-test-report-a-day, too :D (just kiddin´)

Yes, it works.
Hm, something was wrong with my last testings.
Sorry for making trouble for nothing (shame on me)

I had some "couldn´t rename Audio cause file already existing..." with split by VobID. (with the Angle 2 audio streams)
After cancel these popups from DVDDec no probs at all. (without vobSUB)
If I should mail or paste the Log, let me know.

BTW: thanks for Audio delay correction to you and the author of AC3 Delay Corrector,too. Looks very nice :)

[tlian]

Hi,
I try the 1.1.0.3, and get the following error

AC3 Delay Corrector

Sourcefile does not exist!

it might be because I am unchecked some of the audio

Thanks for your great tool.

[Eyes`Only]

If you enable logging and then send me the logfile, I'll investigate that error.

[d4g]

hi i was doing 2 movies im a pal user and when i split by vob id cce freezes when its doig the main movie encode i dont know why this happens im doing anothe test to see if it does it again...ill post to see what happens/....

[fourtyfour]

servus...

d4g:

ehm, what has CCE freezing to do with DIF4U?

Did you used the CCE Data with DoCCE4U or just import the *.avs into CCE and start encoding?

I think it´s more about a problem of your system and doesn´t have anything to do with DIF4U. ;)

Eyes: I´ll check it once more and send you the log file if it still there.

[d4g]

thats doesnt answer my question whe i do pgc with the cce txt file all encodes are fine but as soon as i do it with vob id it freezes on the main movie of a vobid thats doesnt make sense does it....when there oly different files names so it should encode both files even if one is v01 or po1 thats wht i dont understand.....

[d4g]

im going to try to prioretize the docce 4 u to high and maybe it will fix the prob but apart from that i have no clue coz its not system if pgc titles are fine but splitting by vob id it freezes

[d4g]

does anyone else have tis prob or just me and im a pal user

[d4g]

this is my ccetxt file from dfu notice that it has no average bitrate its 0 on teh ones i did by vobid

ok now eyes informed me it tries to do a calculation but how if it has 0 for the vob id......so is there a way to calculate so i can put the avg bitrate in myself

[fourtyfour]

servus...

That´s the same with my files.

You only have to do a calculation manual.

I uses Powerbit for calculating every Bitrate for DVD.
The tool is selfdescribing.

take the duration of the whole movie with audio and so on and calculate.
Then set the avg. bitrate in every loaded VobID.avs (in CCE direct or in DoCCE4U)

BTW: Please use points in your posts.
That´s really hard to read your sum of words without points. :)

[d4g]

one more question i have does it rip your subs when u ripp by vobid

for me it doesnt and now im trying to work out why?

im going to try an earlier release of doitfast4u and see if it does then

Thanx again bud

d4g

[Eyes`Only]

OK everyone,

As you all know, the new version of DVD Decrypter is out.

What you may not know is that behind the scenes, Light_UK and I have been working to add powerful new features that will make DoItFast4U! a more pleasant experience!

For starters:

All of the AC3 bugs should be fixed (bad headers which demuxing by vobid, etc.)!
All of the vobid errors that were being seen when using DoItFast4U in vobid demux mode (could not overwrite blahblah because the vobid was split in the middle of the pgc) are now fixed!
Well.. basically.. any error that was reported to me and was a "DVD Decrypter fault" were corrected!

Now onto the new:

Light_UK has added switches and modes that now enable DoItFast4U to work even more efficiently, and will save lots of time, effort, and troubles (probably creating new troubles along the way, but hey that's what I live for, right?)

To kick off the action, I now present to you my latest beta. What's so new about this beta you ask?

VOBID Demux can now be done in ONE PASS!

What? Did you hear me correctly? Yes, you did. Using the new file mode available and splitting by VOBID, the video and audio are now demuxed in ONE PASS. (The subs still take a bit, but I've got good news on that too). :D

I did work with Gabest today on getting the subs demuxing working properly with the new one pass video/audio demux. The sub demux still goes by PGC though.. we'll see what we can do about that in the future. However, Gabest has increased the sub demux by incredible amounts, also!

This is a major breakthrough in the whole scheme of things. To give you an example of the speed increase these two ‘improvements’ have made:

Test Computer: Asus p4t-e, p4-2ghz-cpu, 1GB RAMBUS 800
DVD Disc: Matrix R2
Mode: ISO MOUNT
Demux by: VOBID
Demux what: VTS02, video, all audio, all subs (including processing and converting to .sst!)

Start time: 16:07.51
End time: 16:47:42

A total of 40 minutes! This is from the minute I hit “Do It”, until I got the “Completed” dialog box. That includes video/audio demux, sub demux, sub processing, d2v creation, and AVS creation. Nice, eh? This used to take anywhere from 6 to 10 hours!

Is this the final way of DoItFast4U! VOBID demux? Nope, not even close. Light_UK and I also worked out a way for me to do an experimental VOBID demux where you can CCE and the result will be the exact m2v (no dropped frames). It's not implemented yet, but the functionality I needed with DVDDEC is now there, and I will be adding this and testing it here shortly. For now, this will have to do.

So without further ado...

Use your updater and get beta version 1.1.0.4.

Changes:

:p VOBID demux now does one pass for video/audio
:p VOBID now works with Calculations
:p Vobsub speed DRAMATICALLY increased!
:confused: Fixed bug where if one PGC had no audio, the rest of the PGCs were never sub demuxed, and sub processing never occurred.
:cool: Added new icons to UI
:cool: Log window enlarged for easier viewing
:cool: Global Options>Other Options replaces Audio Options, now giving you access to three thresholds
1. Encoding Theshold
2. Vobsub Threshold
3. Main VTS Proximity Threshold
:cool: Default AVS now uses Decimate(mode=1,threshold=50) for better output. (use 'reset to default' button in the AVS Editor to autochange it to this)

Known Issues:

New features need DVD Decrypter 3.1.5.0.
PCM Demux is currently disabled. :(

[brashquido]

You truly are a genius Eyes`Only :D

[Eyes`Only]

Nah I just work together with some amazing coders!

Much props to Doom9, Light_UK, Gabest, Aquabubble, BBWoof, Daniel, and everyone else that has help me with either my coding or adapting their programs to make DoItFast4U! work better!

[fourtyfour]

servus...

Here´s my report:

Hell, very fast processing (with 16 subtitles).

You did a great job :)

All works fine at moment(Pakt der Wölfe R2,seamlsess branching)

VobID-splitted import in DoCCE4U works. :)

I have to do more test with more-features-DVDs. :D


But my first impression of new features are very good ;)

[waldok]

Did you check my PM about "disappearing" subs ?

Waldok:cool:

[Eyes`Only]

Waldok,

Yeah, that's really something you should post here though so I can see if others have the same issue... that's WEEEEIIRD! :scared:

[Eyes`Only]

Another bit of weird news for all you 1.1.0.4 testers out there..

I did a test using Harry Potter 2 R1 Disc 1

As some of you may have noticed, I changed the algorithms for dvdr sizing in DIF4U in 1.1.0.4. One of the reasons it wasnt more accurate before was because I was rounding up on decimal places, thanks to Aqua's quick lesson on how to use the AVI API (thanks!) I decided to use the sizes to as many floating point decimal places as I could.

Here's the result:

Ending size of project: 4,703,557,632 bytes.

That's 759k from max size of a dvdr! I've never seen more accuracy in an automated program in my life! heh

I'm a little scared of this accuracy, as it doesn't give much margin for error, so I need some feedback on what others are seeing also, please!

(Note: I had the calc set for DVD-r max size, not 'safe'.)

Thanks!

[jerschwab]

Here's a bug I found...

My internet connection was disabled and when I started Doitfast4u with the "Check for updates" set to "on", it pretty much crashed. I had to manually go into the registry to change the value back so it didn't check the internet. Otherwise, I had to CTRL+ALT+DEL but if I didn't know to go into the registry it wouldn't have worked at all.

Thanks for a great program!

Thanks for a great program!Thanks for thinking it's a great program!:D

[waldok]

hehe Eyes, so true I should have reported my weird bug about 'disappearing subs' here rather than PM.

Sorry for this, I just wanna avoid 10000 people laughing at you at the same time :p :p

But I must now go for it since I've got some (bad) news about it.

As a reminder for you (and first time information for the others) the bug was the following :


DVD Mulholland Drive R1
happens with VTS 07, 5 PGC, movie in PGC1, dummy PGCs 2 to 5
Select VTS07 only.
Select Audio 0x80 English
Check Vosub All PGC
Deselect Audio 0x81 french and Audio 0x89 DTS English
Deselect sub streams 0x20, 0x21 English
Select sub streams 0x22, 0x23 French

Now if I click on VTS07 in the DVD structure window (or on any PGC included in VTS07) , all sub streams simply disappear from the subtitle streams window. They will never reappear after that and no sub will be extracted at all. If I don't deselect any subtitle stream at the beginning, then this bug does not appear and sub are always present in the subtitle streams window. It seems if you deselect the first sub streams but want to keep the other ones, the bug occurs.


Now, here is what I found : subtitles were NEVER extracted, no matter if the subs disappeared or not from the "subtitle window".
No subs, no idx file, nothing.
This is really weird.

Did anybody experience the same paranormal phenomenon ?

Waldok:cool:

[Xitrum]

Hi,
I'm not sure whether this is a bug with the beta version of DIF4U v1.1.0.4 or something that I did wrong. I was trying to search this thread to see if anyone reported the same problem that I'm having, but can't find a post that mention the problem.
On the weekend I was trying to test out the new version, everything is fine except that the .avs file produced contained funny characters, here is a copy of what I got in the .avs file:

.;Ôw
Mpeg2Source("VTS__04_P01.4~3_1.d2v")
.;Ôw
.;Ôw

Also, I put a tick against the option "Autocorrect AC3 delay" but nothing seemed to be done with the AC3 delay in the audio tracks.

Also I just wanted to ask Eyes` Only that whether the algorithm for the pulldown utility had been modified at all? The reason why I asked that is because I normally use DIF4U on PAL movies only and these doesn't need to use pulldown. However, on the weekend I tried to backup an NTSC movie and need to used this utility after CCE. The re-encoded video stream looked OK when replayed, but after using pulldown, I noticed that the video often has jagged egdes when there are sudden movements such as people started to dance or a car suddenly take off.
My last NTSC backup was about 3 months ago, and I did not recall seeing this problem at all. Intially, I thought maybe I did not allocated enough bit rates to the stream, but doesn't matter how much bit rates I allocated, even when the re-encoded video stream size is bigger than the original, I still have the same problem. So I went back and examined the resultant video before the pulldown and after the pulldown process and notice the differences after the pulldown.
I was not sure which version of DIF4U I used 3 months ago, as there has been a lot of upgrades since.

Regards and thanx for the great tool.

[Badness]

Click on global options, go to avs script editor, click reset to default.

[VerbaL]

Just finished a backup with the latest version...resulting size: 4.36GB...this is friggin amazing. Great work! :D

[Eyes`Only]

Whew I threw a house party and now I'm recovering from alcohol, but I thought I'd attempt to catch up on the latest comments...

Waldok: your subs problem is wild. I guess I will have to obtain that DVD soon and find that issue. It is possible that a memory issue was causing that.. in my 1.1.0.5 I've corrected an issue which my debugger was screaming about (analyzing a no-cce m2v for length causes AVI API to freak out!) which was causing memory issues. So after I put 1.1.0.5 out there, let's see if it still happens.

Xitrum: Yes, I noticed that the Autocorrect AC3 delay menu item is being ignored, and fixed that. I think I've corrected the code that would cause that AVS issue with a fresh install also, these changes will also be in 1.1.0.5. Badness did have the correct info on how to repair your AVS scripts though, I'm glad I had the foresight to include that button!

Verbal: It amazes me too :D Thanks.

Oh and the web update crash when not connected to the internet will be fixed in 1.0.0.5, so you guys can just leave it set to 'on' all the time once it's out.

If i can think straight enough to finish my changes (I think eating will help...), I'll probably get this out to you guys soon!

[D3s7]

Couple things:

1) Found w/ 1.1.0.4 - even if I deselect all Subs it still running vobsub but resulting in a very small .scc file in the subs dir (kinda defeats unselecting them if it's gunna run the process anyway :D )

2) have a dvd that it marked as "Irregular DVD (Multiple Main VTSes)" but still only selected one as (MAIN) - rip still calculates the bitrates a the "main" rate for both.. just a visual thing

3) Said it in an email but I'll post it in case anyone else is thinking it. DVD's w/ more then just the VIDEO_TS folder - IE PC files. Current doesn't look at those - thus throwing off the bitrate calculations a little. If you could include these in part of the rip (not sure how easy it would be.. maybe a box to include XXX bytes extra as an alternative and let the user manually copy)

4) Anyone look at automatting the last step in the whole process.. we have DIF4U for rip / initial - DCCE4U for encoding - ReAuthorist for putting the structure back together but missing last step of mixing and IFOUpdate'n new files...

I've thought about it, but the process is kind of variable.. sometimes you should check the copy ac3 table, othertimes not, etc.

So a User Interface to automate this would have to be more complex than just a 'copy' button, you'd have to be able to select/deselect what you want to use in ifoupdate for each .ifo. I think we'll have something like this soon though.

[Xitrum]

Eye` Only,
Thanks for fixing up the AC3 delay and the .avs file in the next release.
I figured out the other problems with jagged edges last night. The NTSC source I used was pure Interlaced NTSC with no telecine. However, your program DIF4U did not detected it. Initially, I thought the funny characters produced in the .avs file supposed to take care of the interlaced video. However, last night I ran it again and I notice that DIF4U first ran DVD2AVI at 29.97fps, after that it ran DVD2AVI using force FILM and the frame rate was at 23.97fps. Whereas, it should leave it at 29.97fps and add the decomb.dll and Deinterlace script in the .avs file.
Just want to let you know, as there might be some bugs in the NTSC Video detection algorithm.

[Eyes`Only]

I think it actually DID detect it, it just used the wrong script. I found this bug a couple days ago and it's also fixed in 1.1.0.5 :D

Eyes` Only,
That's great, I'll test it again when v.1.1.0.5 is available.

[Eyes`Only]

Special thanks to Daniel, the author of AC3 Delay Corrector. By using the technical specs I supplied to him about DTS, he's supplied me with a way to correct DTS Delay now, as well as AC3. This is a beta feature, please report back success/failures with it so we know if it's good or not.

Use your updater and get beta version 1.1.0.5. Edit: removed. 1.1.0.6 will be up soon.

Revision History included in Help menu. Lots of changes!

Known Issues:

New features need DVD Decrypter 3.1.5.0.
DVD2AVI still drops frames with VOBID Demux (a new attempt at a fix is coming soon!)
files outside of the VIDEO_TS folder not included in bitrate calc (feature coming soon)

[Eyes`Only]

D3s7: cc should not have been demuxed unless you had "cc" checked, in which case vobsub is used to get the cc data.

Xitrum: Please tell me if the correct script is being used for pure interlaced now.

[VerbaL]

Upgrading from 1.1.0.4 to 1.1.0.5 I bumped into a little problem. I tried to demux 2 VTSes and at the end it didn't show me the bitrate calculations. I then checked the CCEData.txt and it was completely empty.

I downgraded back to 1.1.0.4 and it worked fine again. Did I forget to check an option in this new version or might there be a problem with the calculation part?

Regards,
verb

[Eyes`Only]

edit: I've found that there is a bug with the latest version where if you create VTS folders it doesnt work correctly. I'm looking for a fix now and will get a 1.1.0.6 out shortly with this fix.

[Zeul]

hi there
v1.1.0.5
just tried on a PAL movie with deinterlace on and got the following avs script which docce crashes at:

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\DoItFast4U\mpeg2dec3.dll")

Mpeg2Source("VTS__03_P01.16~9_1.d2v")

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\DoItFast4U\decomb.dll")

FieldDeinterlace()te(mode=1,threshold=50)

#NODROP2öB

ResampleAudio(44100)

i have noticed that on the last few releases the ResampleAudio line always reads as:
ResampleAudio(44100)am Files\DoItFast4U\mpeg2dec3.dll")

after deleting the extra bit docce accepts it.

have tried on a NTSC film and get #NODROPBáB is this right?
also when dif4u loads the bitrate extras box reads 1750ÿÿÿÿšÌÖwÖ\Ôw and the min mb to demux is 200wÿÿÿÿšÌÖwÖ\ÔwS03

thanks

[Xitrum]

Eyes` Only,
Last night I tried out the DIF4U v1.1.0.5 and found the following:
1. The funny characters produced in .avs file is fixed.
2. AC3 Delay corrector is now working.
3. The programs still did not detected pure NTSC interlaced.
4. The uninstall.exe file in the installed directory has a missing 'l' (i.e. instal.exe). This problem existed in previous versions but I keep forgot to mention it to you.
4. The check for update version did not give you a correct file name to download, you have to manually edit the file name for it to work correctly. The file name it gives is:'DoItFast4U...exe' instead of 'DoItFast4U.v.1.1.0.5.exe'. The same problem existed in v.1.1.0.4 and v.1.1.0.3 as well

Regards.

@ Xitrum - I downloaded 1.1.0.5 version II and it detected pure NTSC perfectly - Im letting you know just incase you downloaded the first release. :D

[Eyes`Only]

just wait a sec guys.. d4g is testing 1.1.0.6 for me real quick, if it's ok, it'll be up within the hour.

adamandhelen: reset your avs scripts in the avs editor, and change your thresholds manually.. the problems should not resurface if you have 'save settings on exit' checked.

xitrum:
1. cool
2. groovy
3. uhhh.. it shoulda.
4. that's not a bug. that's correct. nsis installer uses uninstal.exe by default, i think. Even if it doesn't, nothing wrong with being different, eh? :D
4. (shouldn't this be 5?) i've rewritten a part of that function, just to see if i can fix it. Of course you wont be able to test it til 1.1.0.7...

[Eyes`Only]

Use your updater and get beta version 1.1.0.6.

Slight changes:

:p Subs are now put into separate subdirectories for every stream (BBWoof's idea to improve import speed!) <-- Start of 1.1.0.6

:confused: Corrected CCEData.txt bug in 1.1.0.5

:confused: Edited the web update function to fix problems with incorrect filename for new beta/final builds.

Known Issues:

New features need DVD Decrypter 3.1.5.0.
DVD2AVI still drops frames with VOBID Demux (a new attempt at a fix is coming soon!)
files outside of the VIDEO_TS folder not included in bitrate calc (feature coming soon)
Sub directories left behind even if the .sst is detected as blank and removed (fixable later)

[Xitrum]

Eyes` Only,
3. I tried on the same disc that I had problem with on the weekend and it not detected the "pure interlaced" video. It did detected it as NTSC video source and used "force film" to reduced the frame rate to 23.97fps. But the DVD I got is a Pure interlaced NTSC with no Telecine, so the frame rate should be keep at 29.97fps and the program should put the following lines in the .avs file, which it did not:

LoadPluggin ('c:\program files\DIF4U\Decomb.dll')
FieldDeinterlace()

4. If the nsis installer uses uninstal.exe by default, then in your install programs when it create the DIF4U group in the menu, the uninstall menu should be link to the "uninstal.exe" program not "uninstall.exe"

@hendrix
I did use the DIF4U v.1.1.0.5 version II

[Eyes`Only]

xitrum: please send me the log file from that detection, i want to see what is going on.

Yeah it should point to uninstal.exe. W00ps! Add/Remove programs seems to work well though.

[Xitrum]

Eyes` Only,
I haven't got the log file with me at work, I'll send it to you tomorrow.
Regards.

[VerbaL]

Bitrate calculation and CCEData seems to be back to normal now. Thanks for the quick fix :D

[Xitrum]

Eyes` Only,
Here is the logfile.

[Zeul]

have transfered to latest version with loads of grief.
has anyone tried to do an iso lately with the new dvddec it doesn't seem to be able to crack the decss. i have had previous version since it came out without problems.
@eyes only
is this something your aware of. if it is can you replace this version with the old one in the downloads, so us idiots who deleted the old one can have it back. what features are unavailable in dif4u when not using 3.1.5.0?

cheers

[Xitrum]

I did a couple of iso files using the DVDDecrypter v3.15 a couple nights ago without any problems.

[Eyes`Only]

The newer, faster vobid demux is the only thing so far that DVD Decrypter 3.1.5.0 is needed for, but I have included the old code so if you have 3.1.4.0 it will work still.

Light_UK is aware of the CSS issue, and he told me he has 'reverted back' to the old way DVD Decrypter did it, but I have no idea when that version will be made public (I don't even have it!)

Xitrum: I don't know what to say about that.. your .d2v has all 0's, which normally means 100% progressive. It could be possible that we can't detect pure interlacing 100% either!


OK guys, here's another fun one for ya. Use your updaters and get version 1.1.0.7.

What's new? Full support for all versions of Avisynth (2.0.7+). How does it work? At startup, DoItFast4U will autodetect your version of Avisynth, if it determines that your present AVS scripts are incorrect (ie. you've just switched from 2.0.7 to 2.5.1) it will ask you if you want to correct your scripts, and when you say yes, it will write scripts that go along with your Avisynth version. Oh and if you try to hit "Do It!" without having an Avisynth installed, you get bitched at. That should stop all the n00bs from hitting the channel asking why they can't put .avs files into CCE, eh?

A lot of research went into this. I even found and tested a modified version of the addaudio script, which allows you to preview in WMP (I think?), as well as use the .avses in both CCE 2.5 and CCE 2.66+. All required .dlls are included. I tried to make it as seamless as possible for those of you that want to try it out. If you don't, good ol' Avisynth 2.0.7 still works great!

Also new: Selection for Roba, Multipass, or One Pass methods of encoding. Why? You ask. Simple. I haven't been impressed by the results I've been seeing with the Roba method. I've attached a screenshot to illustrate my point. The top window is the Roba method, the bottom is a good ol' fashioned multipass. Notice the Q factor is lower in the bottom window (the lower the better).

Also, for those that love to take risks, I've added an 'aggressive sizing' checkbox to the calc. Using this causes the DVDCalc to up it's algorithms and try to get close to 4.37. I have no idea how well it works, or if it will cause oversizing. It's another one of my many experiments.

Oh as for the vobid stuff.. it looks like the stuff Light_UK put into DVD Decrypter for me isn't going to work for what I had planned, so I'm going to have to parse the entire .ifo myself, and that's going to take some time to code, so that's definitely not ready yet :(

As for the ability to use the other files on the DVD.. I'm still trying to think of the best way to add this.

[hendrix]

Eyes...i downloaded 1.1.0.7 w/avisynth 2.0.8 and kept getting the
frame size 824x56 not supported error message so i replaced the decomb.dll and mpeg2dec3.dll from the DoItFast4U folder into the new.avs folder and everything worked - is this a bug or am i an idiot?:D

[Eyes`Only]

An idiot? Of course not! You're actually insightful for realizing the problem and a solution so quickly! My correct course of action will be to just edit the scripts to point to the mpeg2dec3.dll and decomb.dll in the root install folder (not the new.avs one). I'll put out a fix immediately!

[hendrix]

I notice throughout the forum users report the frame size 824x56 not supported error message - that message pops up your .avs script points certain dlls and files in the wrong place

[rkorkie]

I have noticed a few things that I am not sure whether or not they have been reported in the forum or not, but here goes anyways. I am doing Southpark Season 1 Disk 3:

- the CCEData.txt file for the extras is way off. The average bitrate indicates 555988. As far as I know, that bitrate doesn't exist.
- In the DVD Structure window, for PCG's that have an audio track of 0x81 don't seem to demux at all. All the PGC's with 0x80 demux just fine. I had to go in manually into DVDDecrypter to do it and it worked.
- Slightly off the topic, but when testing DVDDecrypter vs. SmartRipper 2.41, Smartripper is 10x faster with demuxing from a local image file on the hard drive in most cases. Any explanations for this? I could see it as being as ASPI issue if it was actually directly from the DVD-ROM.
- Can anyone explain what the "Vob ID Information - DoItFast4U!.txt" file is used for?

[rkorkie]

I also noticed that beta version 1.1.0.9 is available for download. The installer version seems to show the right version, but when installed, it indicates version 1.1.0.8. Any ideas?

[Eyes`Only]

Hmm I'm not sure if that version is the corrected one or not!? But, since it's gonna keep buggin ya to upgrade, I've uploaded a new .exe file to the server :)

By the way, the reason for the new beta is because the calculations for bitrate in 1.1.0.8 were flawed.

[rkorkie]

I wouldn't say it was buggin' me, I was just checking to make sure it was the version you intended to upload. Thanx anyways, the new file seems to be right. Any ideas on my other quandries?

[fourtyfour]

Found a Bug in newest Beta.

I´ve done Resident Evil with DIF4U and wnat to try your DVDCalc first time.

But if i start this, Audio sets to 2x 1ch and 2x DTS.
DTS are OK, but the 1ch are DD5.1 448 kb streams!
In the renamed Ausio streams, they also named as 1ch.

Also somethings "wrong" with the calculation.

It told me, that movie will be 570 minutes long!
I don´t know what DIF4U use for calculating, but there aren´t 570 minutes and after all, average Bitrate was 710 !

Iy you need a Logfile, I will send it to you ASAP.

[Eyes`Only]

Hmm I have Resident Evil R1... wonder if it is the same?

maybe you have to directors cut :D

[Eyes`Only]

Did a bunch of testing on this one myself before putting it out there for you all... I've modified the calc to get around 4.36GB when you use the Max DVDR setting in the calc (use safe for a slightly 'safer' size). Depending on how accurate the 4.36GB settings go, I could try to hit 4.37.. it's up to all of you! Personally I like having a bit of margin for error.

Use your updaters and get version 1.1.0.10.

Changes:

:eek: Fixed a memory leak with AVIFILEINFO.
:p All NTSC .AVS scripts that do not need pulldown run after encoding now have 'nopull' automatically added to them.
:p PGC Demux with 'all angles' only demuxes audio for first angle now (subsequent angles use the same audio/sub streams)
:p PGC Demux with 'all angles' skips subs demux for angles > 1.
:cool: Added "Empty Directories before Demuxing" option to menu.
:cool: Detects and correctly demuxes MP2 audio streams now.
:eek: Fixed uninstall bug where right click explorer shortcut wasn't being unstalled from the registry.
:p User is now prompted to create directory when starting DoItFast4U if the last working directory doesn't exist.
:cool: Audiostream list now shows number of channels per stream and whether it's 'Director Commentary' or the like.

Note: due to a weird 'bug' in the previous version, it's possible AVS scripts could be messed up if you switched Avisynth versions, hitting the 'reset avs script' in the prior versions or this new one will fix it though.

fourtyfour: I haven't investigated your Res Evil issue much yet, I will soon.

Everyone,

I want to try to get to the bottom of the PAL TFF/BFF detection issue. If you are an advanced user, and KNOW you have an .m2v that is BFF, please contact me via EFNet or email, and lets make arrangements to get me a copy of your .m2v (just the first 5-30 megs please) so I can do some advanced diagnostics on it. I can do file transfers via IRC, ICQ, and/or MSN Messenger. Thanks!

I'll try to help you out, as soon as I find a bit more time! I promise! :)

I'll send the samples as well to BBWoof, 'cause he might be also interested.

But do you think, it's really worth the effort? I mean some users had very nice results by using FieldDeinterlace and the speed-drop should not be that bad...

Greetz

[Eyes`Only]

Well in that regard, if I can detect BFF hopefully I can detect interlacing and then I'll be able to automate the deinterlacing lines for PAL also! Right now users have to manually do that, because of the detection limitations we face.

Nope, I already reencoded "Back To Life" with CCE Settings for tff-interlaced (deactivated Zigzag, Upper Field First also unchecked) and the result wasn't shaky.

I think there is a problem with that latest beta version using the batch Pulldown option. When running it, DoItFast4u hangs, then crashes with a windows error in the DoPull GUI. It doesn't make it past the first file. Although the pulldown does complete, the original mpv file does not get deleted obviously. I never had this error in previous versions. Has anyone else had this before?

[rkorkie]

Actually, the windows error is "DoItGUI MFC", if that helps to clarify anything.

[69Mws]

Yesterday I took the time to do some testing with DIF4U 1.1.0c.

It's a great tool, I'm very impressed!

I tested it with a Season DVD (Ally McBeal). The Disc contains two Titlesets.

First one has three PGCs, which are the three episodes, second Titleset is very small, it's just this "FOX Trailer".

I wanted to keep english and german languages and subtitles and leave the spanish language out.

DIF4U creates for every Subtitle Language I checked a dummy sst and a dummy jpeg for every PGC. Eh....why? :confused:

Reencoding with DoCCE4U worked very well for me (after some registry editing, but that's another story :D ).

After Authoring I ran IfoUpdate as described in the doitfast-Guide at Doom9.

Cinemaster doesn't play the "result" at all, when I try opening the VIDEO_TS.IFO.

When I open the VIDEO_TS.IFO in IfoEdit and hit "DVDPlay" it starts normally with the FOX Logo. After that the german Menu appears for two seconds and then it becomes black. Somehow funny the buttons are still there "in the darkness" and are clickable :confused:

I gave Authoring a second shot, using an audio-dummy (from doitfast-guide@doom9) as placeholder for the left out spanish language, but that made no difference.

Any ideas?

I already searched for newer Beta Versions, but I didn't find any links in this thread.

Maybe I should take a look again and if I don't find one, I'll contact Eyes `Only.

Update:Ok,ok, there are several links in this thread to newer versions :) I was just too blind to see them, but the links are not working, although th DIF4U Homepage is up and running :(

My testing with an Ally McBeal R2 Season DVD went successfull now.

I still have problems playing it with Cinemaster and the DVDPlay Function in IfoEdit when opening the VIDEO_TS.IFO (Menu becomes black after a few seconds, but buttons are clickable and highlighted when moving the mouse over). I think it's time for me to try another Software Player....

Burning:
From experiences in the past I knew that RNM stops at once the burning process (although it gives you no details, saying just "Data Terminated with Errors" or something like that), when it recognizes that something's wrong with the structure of the DVD, but that didn't happen :)

And in my SA (Pio 444) it all works like a charme :D

BTW: the Dummy Subs that were created, were from ReAuthorist and not from DIF4U...I think they were created, 'cause my selected substreams had the IDs 21 and 22 and so a dummy was created in order to do do not leave Substream-ID 20 empty. I just set it manually to the same language as in the original IFO (Dansk) in Scenarist after Importing the Script.

Now that I saw how all is working together, I'm deeply impressed. Keep up the fantastic work you guys!

Greetz
69Mws

[Eyes`Only]

rkorkie:

absolutely not one iota of code has changed since 1.1.0c til now in that pulldown function. I'm guessing you have a corrupt mpv, or you're running out of disk space? That's the only 2 times I've seen anything like that occur!

69Mws: glad to hear you're having better success with the new versions. The version you are now using now is very close to what will be 1.1.1. Enjoy!

[rkorkie]

I will check the disk space issue out. I know it's not a corrupted mpv file cause they all do work in the pulldown. Does your application check ahead for the next mpv to pulldown and then check for disk space, and if it finds there will be not enough, it produces that crash? Cause yes, you are right, I am typical on the fringe of the amount of disk space I need to this stuff, but I make sure there is always enough for at least 1 pulldown...

[Eyes`Only]

I think there is a problem with that latest beta version using the batch Pulldown option. When running it, DoItFast4u hangs, then crashes with a windows error in the DoPull GUI. It doesn't make it past the first file. Although the pulldown does complete, the original mpv file does not get deleted obviously. I never had this error in previous versions. Has anyone else had this before?

While attempting to clean memory, I inadvertently added too much cleaning, resulting in making the function that waits for pulldown to finish crash. I've found this error and it'll be fixed next beta.

[jerschwab]

What directory is Reauthorist supposed to be in for DoItFast4U to detect it for post-processing?

A dialogue comes up with the title "DoCCE4U not installed" and in the dialogue it says "Could not find Reauthorist!" with an OK button.

Thanks,

Jeremy

[Eyes`Only]

As I showed you on the menu, it only works with RA 0.6.0.7+. It will require no configuring, working off registry settings with RA's new installer. Hopefully Aqua gives it to all of you soon.

(Even if you were to tweak the registry where DIF4U looks for the location, it would do no good because pre-0.6.0.7 versions don't have CLI support so they wouldn't auto-set the working directory.)

hmm I should fix that DoCCE4U not installed eh? That'll teach me to copy/paste functions!

[D3s7]

Interesting thing when trying to rip the matrix region 1.

When demuxing by VOBID it gets caught in a loop on VTS2. It shows "Demuxing VobID (FIRST PASS) using DVD Decrypter 3.1.6.0"

when that's done it vobsubs a few PGC's then clears the log window and starts over demuxing.....

I left it go and it did it probably about 30 times before I aborted

any thoughts?

It from the new DVD Decrypter?

- D3s7

[D3s7]

hrm...

think I figured it out... who woulda known that there was like 50 vobid's :)

the way the log window clears is a little wierd though... and still shows Demuxing VobId (FIRST PASS) <-- I take it FIRST PASS = vobid it's currently working on.... it shows which VOBID it's working on when it's vobsub'n

[Eyes`Only]

In 1.1.0.14, something seems to be wrong with the latest version of vobsub that Gabest sent me, it is not putting 3 lines in the .sst that need to be there.

The lines that are missing are:

PA (0 0 255 - - - )
E1 (255 0 0 - - - )
E2 (0 0 0 - - - )
BG (255 255 255 - - - )

I'll be releasing a fixed version soon, as soon as I can get a hold of Gabest!

[Eyes`Only]

OK, I've uploaded 1.1.0.15.

Changes are in the changelog. The vobsubbing has been fixed.

For those of you that downloaded 1.1.0.15 within the first hour it was released, you will need to re-download it at http://doitfast4u.doom9.org/DoItFast4U.v.1.1.0.15.exe, as the new vobsub version wasn't in that installer. I've replaced it on the site, so new downloads will be correct.

Contact me if you have problems.

Oh I spent a good 24 hours working on a new help file. Give it a looksee. Help>DoItFast4U Help...

[69Mws]

Don't know if someone already mentioned this little "bug":

When a checked (for Demuxing) Titleset contains a PGC with zero playtime (00:00:00....), DVD Decrypter won't process it, but it also doesn't skip it.

Instead you are prompted to choose another PGC. After choosing the next PGC, the process goes on as usual 'til the end.

I had this issue in german RC2 of "Atlantis 2" (VTS 09, PGC 02).

Greetz
69Mws

[Eyes`Only]

Yeah I've had this issue myself.

The reason why I haven't bothered to figure out how to correct it is that if you'll look in that IFO, that PGC doesn't even have a chapter/cell! So you can't author it correctly in Scenarist no way no how. I guess I could check for 0 duration and skip just so DVD Decrypter won't stop on you. Let me add that and I'll get .17 out so you can tell me if it works?

[Xitrum]

Not sure whether this is a bug or not, but whenever I run DIF4U and had the option check for update enabled, it always told me that there is a newer version of beta available eventhough I already got the latest beta. This problem only occurs since v1.1.0.13 (I think)
The other problems I already metioned in the previous post that when you click on the OK button to let DIF4U download the latest beta, the URL given by DIF4U is not correct, ie. the name of the file is there but the version numbers are missing (DoItFast4U.v..exe) hence internet explorer gave an error, and you have to guess what is the latest version of the program are available by trail and errors.

[Eyes`Only]

You're still having that problem? I think you are the only one in the world with that issue. I wonder what is up?

That first problem is related to the second. It sees the latest beta as ...exe apparently and understands that it is different that the current version so it thinks there's an update.

The big question is why is your machine acting so strange. Not a single other person has reported this!

[Xitrum]

My machine is a Toshiba Notebook TE2000 running windows XP if that help.

Well it seems I am the second person in the world. Normally I use DIF4U on my PC at home and I am glad to say everything is working fine. However sometimes when I am at work and I can't wait to get my hands on the new beta, I install it on my work laptop and get exactly the same problem as our friend Xitrum.

The Web Update box opens and says "An Update (version) is available"

I am running it on an IBM Thinkpad with Windows 2000 installed.

As I said earlier it is not causing me any problems as I do all my backups on my PC at home, but I hope I can be of help in tracking down the problem.

I will add some debugging code in the next build and ask you both to send me your log files... maybe i'll be able to figure this out. Are you both using pcmcia cards, modems, or internal NICs?

[Xitrum]

I'm using internal nic and internal modem

[squancey]

I'm accessing my companies network using a NIC, I have no modem installed on my laptop.

As far as I can remember this problem did not happen on earlier releases.

Xitrum: You don't have two installs of Doitfast4U? Maybe you are updating one version, but your shortcut is to the old version?

[Xitrum]

No, I already checked that and confirmed only one version was installed.

[squancey]

Hey Xitrum,

Just a thought, I have an English version of Win 2000 but there is chinese languages enabled because I work in HK.

Are you from this part of the world because I notice you have been posting regularly throughout the day or is this problem keeping you awake :D

squancey

[Eyes`Only]

squancey: Interesting. Is html the same when you have that enabled? If you disable alternate languages does the update work?

[squancey]

Eyes,

I've tried disabling anything to do with other languages but I still have the same problem.

Apart from the DoItFast4U directory and the registry is there any other files installed anywhere ??

Another thing I just noticed after uninstalling then reinstalling is that the Working Directory, Bitrate for Extras, and CCE Passes Main and Extras fields contain control/spurious characters.

The (Virtual) DVD Drive and Min. MB to Demux fields are fine.

I tried this on a couple of occasions and got the same results.

Just leaving work to go back home to my own PC, where I have no problems at all :D

[rkorkie]

I did a quick search in the forums and nothing cameup for this "bug". When using the DVDCalc after demuxing a titleset with an ac3 audio track of 384 kbits, I've noticed the video minutes is off by about 20 mins or so, which of course results in an incorrect CCE avg. bitrate recommendation. I'm wondering if the calculator sees these as 448 instead? It just happened to me with the latest beta with Shawshank Redemption and Three Kings. I am not sure whether this has happened in the previous betas or not. Something worth looking into.

Yeah I've had this issue myself.

The reason why I haven't bothered to figure out how to correct it is that if you'll look in that IFO, that PGC doesn't even have a chapter/cell! So you can't author it correctly in Scenarist no way no how. I guess I could check for 0 duration and skip just so DVD Decrypter won't stop on you. Let me add that and I'll get .17 out so you can tell me if it works?

Same here, the zero-playtime PGC shows no cell in IfoEdit, although it's listed as a own PGC.

What happens when I let ReAuthorist run over it, is a new Titleset with 23 PGC instead of 17 PGCs (as in the Original), so IfoUpdate gives me an error.

I don't know how this happens, I tested it twice and also took a look into the Scenarist Script to see, if the right assets are imported. Everyrything seems fine, but at the end I have six PGCs more in this Titleset than before.

Sorry, I missed your reply yesterday because it was after 5pm local time, and yes, I live in Australia, which is not far off from HK.

Another thing I just noticed after uninstalling then reinstalling is that the Working Directory, Bitrate for Extras, and CCE Passes Main and Extras fields contain control/spurious characters.
I have the same problem as well.

[Eyes`Only]

Xitrum and squancey: I recoded some stuff in .16. If the problem still persists, please email me log files.

[squancey]

Eyes,

Just checked .16 and problem still exists. So I produced a logfile and saw that it seems it may be a problem with the bitch of a firewall we have here at work.

Which e-mail address do you want the log sending to ?

[Xitrum]

Eye` Only,
The problem still exists and below is the content of the log file, but I can't see anything in the logfile that related to the problem. However when start up DIF4U I can see the following message in the message window:

Checking for updates
Something is wrong. Can't find latest beta info!
Make sure debug is enabled and email author with the logfile.

[Eyes`Only]

Ahh that displays the problem nicely. What browser are you using?

[squancey]

I am using Internet Explorer 5.5

Version 5.50.4807.2300 to be exact.

[Xitrum]

How do you get the log file to show the first part?
I got the log file but that's all I got,
The other part is display in the windows, but I can't save that to a file or even copy and paste it.

@squancey
Yes, I'm behind a fire wall also.

[Eyes`Only]

You seem to be behind a proxy server, where direct http access won't work.

It doesn't seem like there's going to be any way around this, unless I work on switching from HTTP to FTP (Not sure if that'll work, but i believe it would)

[squancey]

Eyes,

Yes the proxy here at work is a pain sometimes.

Maybe if you can put a message in the startup script which mentions that the user may be behind a proxy/firewall if the latest beta can't be found and I am sure that will suffice.

Most users will use the app at home and therefore it is unlikely that they will have a proxy setup. As I mentioned yesterday I only encounter the problem because I sometimes check for updates whilst I am at work. I only use the app properly when I am at home and I have had no problems at all.

squancey

[brashquido]

I'd doubt changing it to FTP would fix the problem. First I'd make sure "Use HTTP 1.1" and "Use HTTP 1.1 through proxy connection" are checked in Internet Explorer. TO do this goto Tools>options>advanced>scroll down to HTTP 1.1 Settings.

If that doesn't work try researching over at http://www.squid-cache.org

[Eyes`Only]

Good. less work for me then! :D

Well, at least now I coded DIF4U to recognize there's a problem and skip the update check.

[rkorkie]

Hey Eyes, I don't know if you've had a chance to check the DVDCalc function with falsely detecting the minutes for a 384kbit ac3 file. Seems to happen each and every time.

However, I have a few more gripes about VobSub just not being accurate that often. I'd say I'm successful with it about 75% of the time. Yesterday, I had big problems with Seven and Enemy of the State. I do exactly as in the guides and make a dvd image and run your proggy through that. Well, when vobsub creates the .sst, there are all sorts of time overlaps where one bitmap will start at 1:12:00 and end at 1:12:10, and the next bitmap will start WITHIN that previous timeframe. I then run subrip and everything comes out just dandy.

Now, I hope you don't tell me to quit using your tool and use subrip instead. I'm just wondering if there is anyway to fix vobsub with these issues specifically? I can give you more details if you want them. Thanx again!

[baker]

can't we just leave vobsub, its slow and unreliable.... :(

plz

Baker

[Eyes`Only]

rkorkie: what ver are you using?

[rkorkie]

I'm using the latest beta .16. I always keep it up-to-date, unfortunately that seems to cause stability problems, but that is the risk of beta software of course.

[Eyes`Only]

If you email me a copy of the .idx/.sub that has that timecode overlap, I can get it fixed with the help of Gabest, provided that I can make the same issue occur.

[rkorkie]

ok, I will redo Enemy of the State tonight to get you that file.

The case with Seven is harder to reproduce. It is a DVD flipper disc, and I used Derrows method using Vobedit and IFOEdit to renumber the VobID's in disc 1 and disc 2 so that when they are merged, disc 2 scenes don't start before disc 1 scenes. But in the end, Vobsub totally screwed those subs up, not with overlap, but with timecodes completely out of whack, past the end of the movie, and with great gaps between sub times.

Another really good example is Mallrats. Vobsub screws that one up by starting the subs a couple minutes before the movie even starts. I researched this one, and yes, my timecodes were set all to zeros in Scenarist, and I even reset the internal timecodes of the m2v by running a pulldown with -nopulldown option. I don't have the .sub file at the moment as I don't have that disc anymore. I can get it though, would you like that one as well?

[Eyes`Only]

I need as many files as will show me all the symptoms, if one file won't do it then I'll need more.

As for subs starting before the movie, that was fixed a couple betas ago, I thought.

Xitrum and squancey:

In version 1.1.0.17, I've switched code to check for updates via FTP instead of HTTP. From what I've researched, proxies mainly focus on HTTP, so I'd like to see if the update function works now.

Also, I've corrected all issues with weird characters in the boxes of a fresh install.

[squancey]

Eyes,

Just checked version .17, and found that the weird characters disappear on a fresh install.

But unfortunately the update feature still has the same problem. An error box pops up "Error checking for Update".

The log file looks the same as the one I previously sent.

Cheers

Hi Guys,

Eye 'Only, I suggest that you read up at the www.squid-cache.org and associated proxy usergroups if you want to enable downloads through proxies. Proxy servers are governed by a set, or sets of rules which allow or deny access. For instance, downloading through the squid server I manage for work, I have no trouble updating my version, and that's going from version 1.1.0.16. It isn't as simple as setting the protocol to HTTP or FTP. FTP through our proxy is blocked to all sites bar those needed for work purposes.

For the amount of people who would download upates via proxy, you'd almost be better off just configuring some code that detects the proxy server and returns a message to the user that the automatic update may not suceed due to the proxy server.

[Eyes`Only]

Yeah that sounds fine to me. Guess proxied users are just gonna have to go to the website (I've included directions on how to get the latest beta now on my download page).

[squancey]

Sounds fine to me too.

Just do a check to see if an update is available, if it can't access just give a message saying so. Seems fair enough to me and probably 99% of the users, who access from home.

I know our proxy server/firewall is very tough to get around and rightly so, it should restrict the staff from accessing/downloading stuff from the net....but not me :sly:

Hey Eyes, for those people out there that butcher certain dvds (like me), and only want just the main VTS, or just one particular PGC which has the movie, audio track and subs, is there any way you could have a seperate option on your tool to create the CCEData.txt file separate from the option to create VIDEO_TS using unused VTS's? And thus, the CCEData file would be calculated based on whether or not you checked the VIDEO_TS option and/or what is checked in the DVD Structure box. I know the application can do it cause I use the DVDCalc with AMAZING results. Just wondering if you could make the option separate as I would really like to fully automate everything I do, especially when re-authorist gets released. Let me know if you can do this. Thanx.

[Eyes`Only]

As many know, my ideology of DVDr doesn't allow this.

I will never affix any feature that could be applied to assist the butchershop community exclusively. It goes against everything I believe in, and in my opinion it is a much bigger affront to those authors that have created the art (yes, it is an artform, one of which the less cultured may never appreciate and call 'worthless extras').

I realize some my feel that dvdr in general is an affront to the authors. It may be, but by keeping everything they've worked hard to do, we at least show that we appreciate the art. And when I put my backup of a DVD right next to the original, I don't have to worry about which one to grab when I want to view them, because there's nothing missing!

Members of the butchershop will have to use RA to hack up their art, if aquabubble decided to keep his features in there that allow this (I frown upon them, but it's not my decision to make).

WOOO!

Now theres an opinion!!!

[Eyes`Only]

Indeed.

Fellow perfectionists, welcome to your new religion!

[rkorkie]

Thank-you for the feedback.

@Eyes:

Very nice image, will you implement it in the next release? :D

I have to "confess" ;) that I also used to make movie-only DVD-Rs for the most part a long time, but with the "big three" it's amazing what can be done now quite easily. Even Season DVDs work out very fine with quite small effort :)

Amen :D

Hehe glad you like. I also thought of a cross with the DoItFast4U Logo on top..

So RA 0.6.1 is out now. I need quick feedback of how well the integration of DIF4U->RA went, as I am ready to finalize, as soon as I make sure that feature works well.

Those that do DIF4U->DoCCE4U, obviously don't need to reply as I know that works well :D

rkorkie: I need you to get those .idx/.sub files to me ASAP if the fix is to be included in the final rls!

servus...

Sound like work for me :)

Try newest DIF4U with newest RA.

Feedback in a few minutes.

Import and Author it works fine :)

[Eyes`Only]

Hehe actually I meant the integration between. The Global Options>External Post Process>Reauthorist feature. Sorry for not clarifying.

[Doom9]

it worked for me (I didn't opt to have ra start processing right away). But when I got back from lunch today RA was up and running with all the calculations already been performed. Until dif4u can identify pal content I'll always need some interruption for manually adjusting scripts somewhere in the process <hint hint>

[Eyes`Only]

Doom9: Great to hear! As for PAL detection, it's in the plans for 'more testing and diagnosis' post-1.1.1.0 :D I have plans to team up with DVD2SVCD to work on it, since I pointed out to him that his PAL detection is very flawed.

[D3s7]

Ok here's something wierd which has me puzzled

DIF4u 1.1.0.17
Avisynth 2.5.1.0
DoCCE4u (both 1.0.1.2 and 1.0.0.x)
CCE 2.5 and 2.66

Ripped my movie (standard Region 1)

Main movie is in VTS5 - length : 1:56:23

I've re-encoded it twice now and even thought it looks like a complete movie the timeline shows length of 35:00

Any thoughts?

I'm going to delete it an re-rip / re-encode again I guess but that really puzzles me

[D3s7]

Ok hmmm..

grabbed .18 and reripped.... the "Average" bitrate it chose for my VTS5 is 0

(11:33:37) CCE Recommended values: VTS 03 MaxBitrate= 9416 AvgBitrate= 1850
(11:33:37) CCE Recommended values: VTS 04 MaxBitrate= 9608 AvgBitrate= 1850
(11:33:37) CCE Recommended values: VTS 05 MaxBitrate= 9160 AvgBitrate= 0
(11:33:37) CCE Recommended values: VTS 06 MaxBitrate= 9608 AvgBitrate= 1850

RC 2 report : (or for 1.1.1 betas :D)

- possibility to change size of screen?
(sometimes, I really wish a bigger size of DIF4U, cause my optical sense would be much better, if I see all PGC without scrolling)

- save settings on exit all (with vobsub pgc for example, I´m very frustrated if a movie done and I forgot subtitle)

- PAL interlaced detection (I know, there are problems with bff, but other should work ? ;I think, 2 % of all PAL movies is a acceptable detection error)

- Something like an advice for split by VobID/CellID for users.
(or something like ifoupdate, (Scenarist, Maestro needed for authoring)

- refresh button for DIF4U (if you have an old iso mounted, restart needed)

just for me :

How can I make this all with DIF4U and a script?
It would be great to work with one UI for commands and everything will be done. :)

P.S.: the "wishlist" get smaller and smaller :)
A sign for your genius work :) Thanks a lot for this tool ;)

Hi neighbour ;)

You don't need to restart DIF4U. Just select again the letter of your mounted drive after you mounted another iso and it loads the new structure :)

I thought that was a good idea so I added it right before i released the 1.1.1 Final. Enjoy.
