Haven't been in the discussion for a long time, but I'd like to see extended DVD-support in GSpot, like automatically selecting the main movie on a DVD and give the details about it (including subtitle languages, audio streams and their names, total main movie size and bitrate etc). Perhaps a "DVD-mode/tab"? Any thoughts on this?

[Happygolucky]

I still prefer GSpot 2.21 to any of the new versions. I've tried to adjust to the new versions but the interface is nowhere near as good as the old. In the new versions the runtime field is cut off, so that a file that is 1 hour, 43 minutes, 27 seconds is shown as "01:43:". Also, the audio bitrate field doesn't give me any information as to whether it is CBR or VBR like the old version does. When a new version comes out I try it, but I always end up going back to 2.21 because it is the only one that gives me what I want in a neat and tidy package.

I appreciate the hard work that goes into all the versions, though.

Hi Steve,

It's been quite sometime since the last 2.52 beta release. Have you any news for us?

Hi

Hope this thread isn't totally dead yet...

Which version would DivX501b481 be?

I've noticed it's sometimes written Build instead of b like this: DivX500Build413
What defines when it's b and when it's Build?
I mean does it depend on the encoding utility or does it depend on the codec version? anyne know?

thanks

On a different note. Does anybody know when DrDivX was first launched?

Hi stegre,

You've been quite for a few months so I just wondered if everything's okay?

With regard to GSpot, I recieved an e-mail from an AVS forum member, asking if interlaced detection can be added for Mpeg4 streams.

What do you think... is it possble?


Cheers

Thanks, guys :) --- I'll be checking back here occasionally for bugs/comments/suggestions. *.mp4 file support would rock my day :D Display Aspect Ratio following the MPEG-4 standard (like XviD) would be awesome too. You know, an edit function, lik MPEG4Modifier? But with support for *.avi 2.0 and *.mp4 file format. And if it's not too much too ask for, track language edit like QuickTime Pro, and tags like abcavi... but it already has this, but it's not as easy to know where to put the tags, since it's not informative of what the sections are :)

[Elias]

I am having problems too with GSpot and XviD. I am using the same GSpot version, and XviD 1.1 Beta. For some reason, some XviD encoded movies show up as having N-Vop in GSpot, even though I didn't choose packed bitstream and MPEG4Modifier says that there's no packed bitstream.

[trodas]

Editing will be grat, no question about it. There is still some bad releases out there that open up with just wrong aspect ratio - fixing this will be amazing and - jsut enable the modifications, pls! :o

Mainly because the stupid modifier need WinFramewors crap installed :mad:


In short, a utility that does not need load of horsesh*t to change the DAR is desperately need. GSpot could be the one if, and only if it allow the editing of DAR... :o

[SeeMoreDigital]

According to his web site, it looks as though stegre is planning to release a new version of GSpot (ie: 2.6 b??) :D
