After more than one year of life, ARCalculator finally arrives to 1.0.0 version.
Changelog:
-----------
-All program code rewritten.
-New visual aspect, everything has been changed for a more friendly and usable one.
-Overhead Calculation for Avi, Ogm and Mkv containers and a lot of different audio types.
-Added support for 4 audio tracks for calcs.
-Added support for adding extra files (like subtitles, launchers, codecs...) witch will be considered in calculations.
-Now, you can choose "Size Unit" for calc. (KB or MB)
-Preview of video is now integrated in two modes: Resized and Real Size
-Now you can go to a determined frame, or second of the video in the preview. (You also can go to credits start/end frames directly)
-Added new info data like Overhead A/V size... etc
-Now you can modify resolution manually, changing weight and heigh simultaneously or individually (with module defined by user)
-Now, you can set avisynth filters position (Default, before resize, or after resize)
-Added IVTC (Inverse Telecine), witch will allow you fps of vide (i.e: NTSC 29,97 to 23,975fps)
-Now you can hide preview window in advanced filters settings.
-New improvements in AVS Optimizer. Now you can define aggresivity levels for filtering, or you can give priority to motion estimation over other settings (Old AVS Optimizer Method).
-Deleted old AVS Optimizer, since it has been integrated in the New Avs Optimizer.
-Modified QMF default values. (Current ones should give best results)
-Mipsmooth is used now in QMF instead of Convultion 3D.
-Added Queue Job, witch will allow you to add encodings of any video codec, and launch them when you want. You even can add avs optimizer pass followed by two normal passes. (Queue Job is for avs2avi only)
-Now, you can configure, XviD, DivX, or any installed codec inside the program.
-New Stats Reader for XviD 1.x , witch will allow us to analyze this type of files or even compare it with another one. Perfect for comparing bitrate curves between different codec settings or avisynth filters. It allows to save a screenshot of the graph, or define range of frames showed.
-Added a new configuration menu, where you can define usual settings you prefer, like container, encoder, avisynth filters...etc. These values will be used as default ones.
-You can select alternative mpeg2dec decoders, like Donald Graft ones.
-Added Warnings messages in case you havenīt installer XviD 1.x in your computer, or if it has not been initialized.
-Added decimal separator symbol control. No more error in conversions to floats numbers.
-Added status window for AVS2AVI with useful encoding info. It allows you to change priority of the proccess in exec time, or abort it. You can minimize it to system tray, and operate it from there with a popup menu.
-Now you can use VirtualdubMod for compressibility check or for AVSOptimizer pass. (Tested with VDMod 1.5.10.1)
-Added help file with a full manual of the program. (Only in spanish, if you are interesed in transtating it into english, you are more than welcome)
- New Avs2Avi version (1.38)
-Due to interface change... old language files are not usable anymore, so, only english and spanish languages has been added in this release. (if someone wants to translate to other languages, please, contact with us ).
As you can see, there are a lot of changes and new features. In first versions of the program, ARCalculator was only a simple bitrate calculator helpful for choose a proper resolution. The program has changed a lot... in each release have been added a lot of feaures, and now, ARCalculator allows yo to encode a video easily and with a great quality. It has all tools you need for it: Compressibility check, creation/edition of avisynth scripts, optimizer scripts personalized for each video, stats reader for xvid, overhead calcs, queue job ...
Everything we had on mind when we began to develop this proyect, has become a reality with this version. And we will improve it even more in the future.
You can find more information about this tool in the older developmnet thread HERE (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=62286&highlight=Calculator).
You can find all information about this version in canalxvid forums (in spanish) HERE (http://canalxvid.urbenalia.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=827).
And, finally, you can download last version HERE (http://canalxvid.urbenalia.com/pafiledb/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=28).
