DRPEnc XP v.0.60 -The GUI for FFMPEG

[Amnon82]

So here is my GUI for FFMPEG.

I played a little with FFMPEG. Some here told me that it will also encode MPEG2. So I started my Delphi and codeded a GUI for it.
The package includes the newest CVS specialy compiled for this GUI.
I improved my coding skills. So this app has a ini-file to set it up.
The first start takes a while to find the DRPEncXP.exe.
The second will be faster.

For all who want a easy GUI I added on the first page fast-templates.
Open the inputfile. Select the target. Setup the outputfile and hit 'Do it!!!'. Thats all.

Also I added most of the features the encoder supports. This is for the freaks here:

You can add custom matrices
You can run 1/2Pass mode
You can debug
You can show motion vectors
You can benchmark
You can crop
You can pad
You can use other formats (this encoder can almost all codecs!)
etc.

I hope you will have fun with it.

I'm searching the net for resizing function in ffmpeg. Till now no result! :eek:

Did anybody of You know how to resize a 16:9 DVD
From 720x576 to 464x430 plus adding borders to get a 480x576 resolution?

[tickey]

What's goin on with DRP XP?
How about DRPEXTREEEME? :D j/k
I am playing with ffmpeg,
here are a couple of links you prolly have already :o
I think they talk about resizing.
I know you can add borders in ffdshow/ffvfw so you can prolly do it in ffmpeg.
http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net/ffmpeg-doc.html#SEC4
http://ffmpeg.sourceforge.net/faq.html

[Amnon82]

If that is true I'll add it to the GUI.
DRPEnc EXTREEEME is the now Layout.
For all beginner I build a DRPEnc Easy GUI.
ClickAndGO is there the thing.

Why so many GUIs? ... maybe there is now GUI fit for everyone.
Try out which GUI is Yours...:D

@tickey: rereaded the whole FAQ and Manual! Nothing about resizing or add borders. You can only crop. So You can encode so funny MPEG2files with the resolution 464x430. I didn't tried how it will be displayed on a sap. There is now add border support. If You have a build within it, post it or show me the way how to do it in ffmpeg.

[tickey]

from the faq
Not sure but this may also set size? I'll try it out later.
`-target type'
specify target file type ("vcd", "svcd" or "dvd"). All the format options (bitrate, codecs, buffer sizes) are automatically set by this option. You can just type:
ffmpeg -i myfile.avi -target vcd /tmp/vcd.mpg

you resize in ffmpeg by using -s 352x288 (if you wanted to resize to 352x288)

PATH:\bbdmux.exe PATH:\temp_ffmpeg.vob 0xe0 PATH:\TARGET.m2v
Note the large text command
I tested this out on a small vob piece and it looks/works great but the res was already 720x480.
To test this batch out copy the orig from
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=72827&perpage=20&pagenumber=9
as I inserted page line breaks to keep the page from going to wide.

tickey! man! This is not the feature I'm looking for.
Try this:

Use Your 720x480 Source (I hope it is 16:9 AS) and try it to resize it to 480x480 in the right aspect ratio. If You don't get eggheads talk again with me:devil:

[Nic]

By using -croptop,-cropleft,etc and -aspect, when necessary he should be able to avoid having the wrong AR (or eggheads ;) )

Hi Nic. Guess whats came out? A funny MPEG2file with the resolution 464x430 and not one with added borders.

Cropping is easy, but how adding borders to get a valid SVCD 480x576?
till now I don't understand why they didn't add this option...

BTW. is there a way adding AVS to ffmpeg? Or is a adding borders feature possible?

[Amnon82]

Added the padding support. Fixed the audioencodingsettings.

Hi,
I guess I've found a bug in latest DRPEncXP. The path to the executable has to be in quotes. @ECHO OFF
ECHO COMMANDLIST created by DRPEnc XP v.0.51
ECHO _______________________________________
ECHO RUNNING 1PASS OF 2. PLEASE WAIT...
ECHO _______________________________________
C:\Program Files\Audio-Video\Video\DRPEncXP\FFMPEG\ffmpeg.exe -i "D:\DVD\video.avi" -target dvd -hq -b 8000 -aspect 4:3 -bt 2000 -maxrate 10000 -bufsize 1835 -vcodec mpeg2video -pass 1 -g 15 -ab 224 -ar 48000 -ac 2 -acodec ac3 "D:\DVD\pokus.vob"
.
.
.

This is the code I got, but there should be "C:\Program Files\Audio-Video\Video\DRPEncXP\FFMPEG\ffmpeg.exe" -i
When I changed the .bat file like this it worked fine, but with the original one it didn't work. Spaces in path are not a good idea. But folder Program Files has it.
Btw. did you already check the new ffmpeg build? Seems to bring a lot of new futures and improvements.

I didn't had time ... If I found some I'll work on it ...
