XviD DirectShow encoder filter

[ChristianHJW]

Has anybody tried using it yet ? Any bugs ? Please post your experiences here ....

Tim Jansen is currently in the process of building it for Dev-API4, but there is a stable API3 build (http://home.kabelfoon.nl/~jansent/dshow_enc.rar) existing for testing the filter.

Tim has new plans to make direct MPEG4 ES output possible now from the filter ( no VfW output ), so we can write valid MP4 files with 3ivX MP4 writer, or native MPEG4 MKV files with Gabest' matroskamuxer ....

Wanted to test it, couldn't get it to compile. Thanks for a link to a binary.

edit: hey, that wasn't built yet X|
meh.. I'll make you work.. foolish c++

[celtic_druid]

Compiled ok here.

Seems to work ok to, just use it to encode a rm clip to an XviD MKV with graphedit.

[RadicalEd]

don't mind me, I'm having issues with the dx sdk -_- software smarter than user kind of thing.

Of course, you do realize that the 3ivx mp4 muxer has not currently been released ... =)

Can somebody put the compiled binaries online?


THX

[Calculon]

Could someone please compile this and make it avalable? I'm not skilled enough with source code at this point to do it.

[celtic_druid]

Well obviously I have already compiled it, however one would assume that I can't really upload a binary for legal reasons?

[ChristianHJW]

If anybody sends me a working binary of the latest build, i will gladly host it, brave guy as i am :D ....

[celtic_druid]

Latest build? The above source doesn't seem to have changed.

Anyway, check your PM for a working binary. I only did minor testing, however it appears possible to encode VBR MKV files with it http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=60561

[superdump]

I have also done some brief testing with a version Tim sent me yesterday. I could not get two-pass to work but the one pass modes worked just fine.

[celtic_druid]

Two pass worked fine for me every time that I tried it.

[superdump]

Hmm, strange. I'll try again in a bit.

Great! :D

[Calculon]

*bump* ;)

[ChristianHJW]

Its strange, TimJansen had prepared a working binary for me almost 2 weeks ago, but when cleaning my inbox it somehow disappeared, and although the guy is hanging out on #matroska all the time he doesnt react to my PMs telling him to resend it ... hosting it is done in a second than, i promise ....

[ChristianHJW]

As promised :

TimJansens latest XviD encoder filter :) .... have phun !

you may call me a noob, but how does a DShow encoder works? :confused:

Get graphedit and create a filter chain similar to this one:
movie.avs-->XVID-->AVI MUX-->movie.avi
Ok, so when you open the avs go render media file and open it, then delete all the things connected to it, then go to graph > insert filters and add under Video Compressors: XVID then go to Directshow filters find AVI Mux and the file writer and give your file a name and then connect all the pins as shown and hit play. Of course you can use a similar method with gabest's matroska muxer to create it in a mkv container right away, ;).
EDIT: BTW, Chris were the sources that were used to make this dev-api-4 encoder were they the same ones that are linked at the top of this page? I ask because I thought these only worked with dev-api-3, if this is the case do you know where I could get the source for the directshow part of the dev-api-4 encoder?

Thanks. My first encode(a reencode of a losslessly captured episode of Stargate SG-1) turned out ok.
