Hi, thanks for that new version! I'm glad to see the CLI is kept updated :)

UnpackCL 1.2.1 released, based on MPEG4 Modifier 1.4.2. Fixes some problems with OpenDML reading/writing.

Hello,

Any chance to include the add packed bitstream function? I got a lot of files that want to add packed bistream. Thanks.

Hi,

With version 1.2.1 of UnpackCL, I got following error with an avi file:

Loading: 73.9%Error: This is not a valid MPEG-4 video (startcode not found at beginning of frame).

On running my avi through VirtualDub (direct Stream copy), the error shifted to some later point:

Loading: 74.5%Error: This is not a valid MPEG-4 video (startcode not found at beginning of frame).

Any suggestion to get rid of this error will help. I'm able to play it (with wrong aspect ratio) on VLC.

Is there any need for a gambas-gui for linux? When yes I can code it. Tell me what functions it should have or post me a screenshot of a Windows GUI.

Is it possible to unpack the file without loading first?

Sometimes I´m already aware that the file is packed and the scan phase only doubles the time needed for unpacking.

For example, MediaInfo, by Zenitran, tells me that a file is packed in one second but it does not unpack, so I need unpackCL or Mpeg4Modifeir for this.

Edit: Sorry... it does not "doubles" the time...

In my system, unpacking a 700MB AVI:

Loading: 15s
Saving to another HDD: 29s
Saving to the same HDD: 80s

@Bear: I've updated UnpackCL to include most of the features of MPEG4 Modifier, see here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=117553).

@Jefferson Ryan: I think it would be possible but I don't know when or if I will do it.

I updated (with slight name change) my "Unpack AVI Processor Shell" to support MPEG4 Modifier CL, as well as keep support for old UnpackCL (.NET 1.1). Enjoy! :)

"You have to install 58MB additional stuff to make it run"

Hehe my harddisc here has 76 Gigs and there is a 2nd one with 40 Gigs here. And my PC is already quite old and was damn cheap.

56 MB hey man you gotta be kidding thats like a snip with my little
finger! Of course whether you ever need Mono is something only you
can answer, as user, but hey... 58 MB thats like *snip* *snip* ;)

Here's an all new .NET 2.0 version of my Unpack AVI Processor Shell for the MPEG4 Modifier CL utility. Lots of new features and increased performance as well. Enjoy!
