@SVCD v0.5 Build 7

[cbwarz]

Hello my friends,

I'm presenting to you my "SVCD Operator v0.5".

It's a basic (but complete) DVD to SVCD/CVD Open Source project made by me :)
It's supposed to be easily to use but powerfull enough :)

Well, what i need now is beta test.
In my system works very good:
* @svcd v0.5 Build 7
* CinemaCraft Encoder SP v2.66.00.07
* Athlon 600Mhz + Windows 2000 Pro +

Package have everything you need (but CCE):
Just download & install.

Thanks to RobertR for the web space.

NOTE: Before install please install CinemaCraft Encoder SP v2.66.00.07 (what i have) or later.
Video encode is automated via EclCCE so, any CCE compatible must work.

SOURCE CODE can be downloaded when an admin gives green light to it.

I know, it needs a better Credits dialog :)

Thanks

Ooops, almost forgot, those who want to compile the source code, then you need to download the full package cause it have 2 ocx in them and all the Utils dir. Those are requiered to compile or run.

Code requieres Visual Basic 6 Service Pack 5

OCX are: MBTray.ocx & SmartNetButton.ocx & SmartSubClass.dll

BENEFITS:
1. Simply DVD to SVCD/CVD.
2. Let you select what operations you want to do.
3. User friendly.
4. Open source GNU. (Later will add the txt)

KNOWN LIMITATIONS:
1. Only DVD to SVCD/CVD support.
2. Doesn't have a good detection for "HYBRID" videos.
3. Only permanent subtitles.
4. Only AC3 support.
This means, this software can only automate AC3 streams from DVD.
No LPCM, no MP2. You can do manual conversion and then name final files
Audio1.mp2 or Audio2.mp2.

KNOWN BUGS AND ISSUES:
1. FILM, NTSC and PAL detection is done by inspecting DVD2AVI GUI and by loading
the second VOB from the DVD (hoping it jumps the initial "hybrid" video).
It just lets DVD2AVI run by 5 seconds and then check Frame Type, Frame Rate,...
Can potencially detect NTSC while it was FILM. PAL?? What's that?.
2. User can cancel or disturb automation process while using the computer.

sorry to jump on You but umm if it is GNU than why are You restricting it to Personal Use only ?
I'm not an expert on licensins issues but this look kinda strange to me... (and i'll for sure give a try Your program :) )

I'd like to know where can I find that MBtray.ocx

Thanks

[cbwarz]

@I'd like to know where can I find that MBtray.ocx

All ocx and the other utils are included on the install package.

I can create a little zip with ocx but you need utils too, so, better download the package.

Thanks

Thanks [/B]

I'd download your install package if only I could, but I always see a page sayin' that the service is temporary unavailable!

You can mail it to me if you want, my email address should be visible in my profile.

Bye and thanx

@service is temporary unavailable!

:rolleyes:

Fixed.

thanks

Ok
Now Ive downloaded your project and installed it.
I can't get it work since it crashes every time I click on the Options button. So I cannot say how it works :(

I've tryed to load your code in VB6 and then to run it, but it says:

Runtime error 429
The activeX control cannot create the object.

Can you explain what's up? :(


P.S. where did you find that module for vstrip dll? I'd like to have some documentation about it, if it's available ;)

Thanks and bye

That's a bug :rolleyes:, i guess the first time you run it the dialog appears ok, but when trying to access it again it simply unload the app. Will try to fix that, for now, run regedit and goto:
/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/SVCD Operator/

And delete, this will reset the options, so when start up you can assign the new values (i know is wrong, but will fix it)
In my machine doesn't do that, it appears to be related with the assign of values from registry to the form.

Try loading this controls:
windows/System32/MBTray.ocx
windows/System32/SmartNetButton.dll
and this reference:
windows/System32/SmartSubClass.dll

Thanks for testing and finding the bug :)

Hi,

Can't reproduce the error on my PC :(, works fine.

If you or someone please debug and tell me what makes it crash will be great.

Thanks

[Movie Maniac®]

OK

I'll try to reproduce it and let you know.

But seems it was due to those dll that you use within your project, or to the fact that I didn't selected the proper settings in the panel that appears the first time you load the application :)

Bye

AFAIK activeX compoments (dll's,ocx's) must be registered.
Start a commandline prompt and run "regsvr32 <ocxname>".
