NuMenu4u.2.0.25

[sait666]

Hello,

I read about problems with vbalCmdBar6.ocx on W2k systems, but I'm getting this error on my XP SP2 box:

Run-time error '339':
Component 'vbalCmdBar6.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid.

I've installed the vbrun60sp5.exe, but still no luck.

Any ideas?

TIA

[Zeul]

this ocx will reside in your sys32 folder. try re registering it:
press start/run/regsvr32 and then drag and drop in the ocx.

this has happened too many times for my liking , so i am going to postpone the latest release until i have changed the GUI to remove the requirement for this ocx.

I tried that too, and just for fun did it with all the vb6 ocx's, same error code :(

I'll just wait till your next release then, and cross some fingers.

Thanks for your answer.

New build now available. See first page for changelog.

It wont start encoding! It writes additional (WRONG!) lines to the ecl files!!!

hmm
Those lines were added to assist with rewriting the ecl later. In my tests they caused no affect to CCE, however, I did only try with 2.67+ and not 2.7 which you are running. I will remove those lines are re-release later today.

CCE 2.67 not tried!
I gave a try at 2.50.00.01 and it lock up (only shows the primary windows , no ecl loaded and no encoding started!)

[kbello]

@Zeul

i try with CCE 2.70, 2.67 and 2.50, numenu4u recognized all as CCE 2.5.5.0 in main log window. With 2.70 and 2.67 retail i can't encode, got a error. 2.50 i can encode witout a problem.

i use numenu 2.0.7

[Zeul]

@kbello
Are you sure that the main log is not showing Avisynth version 2.5.5.0 and not cce? Is your error the same as Turisoft?

Excellent, no more vb6 ocx errors, thanks!

[ffreese]

first of all - thank you for your great tool. as a vip user i now have the possibility to reencode menus in a VERY high quality. This could´nt be done before with freeware-tools (like muxman)...

From now on you already use pgcdemux and muxman. ALso there is a mode to stip unwanted material. So Numenu4u became "THE" tool to prepare dvd´s before using Rebuilder.

There is only one feature missing... :) You would need to use only one more tool for this feature (besweet)... In some cases it is VERY useful to compress audio. For instance in TNG or Voyager serial dvd´s - if you want to keep at least 2 audiotracks. The biterate for video increases from less than 2500 to more than 2700 - and thats VISIBLY better! So - if you want to try out a new feature - please compress audio :) There is an exellent guide from Malcom on doom9 that describes the way - quite mechanical and maybe quite easy im implement - because most of the way is already gone in Numenu4u.

Thank you again for your great tool!!!

[Zeul]

I have thought about that. The problem is that besweet produces non compliant AC3 streams, so can't be relied on. If you know of an alternative apart from softencode (which most dont have) then i am listening :)

[kbello]

@zeul

check the screenshot

http://img233.echo.cx/img233/9783/mainlog3gf.th.jpg (http://img233.echo.cx/my.php?image=mainlog3gf.jpg)

[Zeul]

hmm
I can't repeat that at all. If you reselect the eclcce file what is reported.

[D3s7]

shouldn't he select the cce exe not eclcce?

[Zeul]

oops i was thinking of procoder. D3s7 is correct the cce executable and NOT the ecl file

[kbello]

i choose cce executable and i try reselect the cce, i got the same.

http://img97.echo.cx/img97/8559/mainlog25nw.th.jpg (http://img97.echo.cx/my.php?image=mainlog25nw.jpg)

i reinstall too for sure, and the same.

[Zeul]

Several important bugs have been noted with the latest build, which I am addressing. If you are getting errors with muxman use please provide me with the mxp files and the muxman log files (these reside in the muxman/001 folder - where 001 is the vob#, so 002,003 etc)

thanks

Hmmm... ok, on very rare standalones there may be some problems with besweet... Not al real problem to me. Maybe a feature for VIP to use on own risk :) I use headac3 to create ac3-audio.

What about ffmpeg? Not the best one, I know. But remeber, it´s just to keep a 2-chan-audio - the quality is not as important as the main-audio...

In Pal-Land we can use MP2 instead og AC3...

Thank you for listening :)

Updated version to 2.0.9 - VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR MUXMAN USERS

[Angelus]

I have one small problem with NuMenu4u...everytime I have an Angel DVD in my real DVD drive (Angel TV series) I always get an error in NuMenu4u saying this:

Procedure Name: GetIfoLanguages
Module Name: Test

Error Number: 52
Error Description: Bad file name or number
Error Source: Project1
Error Line: 14
Call Stack:
GetIfoLanguages --> Test
LoadTreeView --> Test
ReLoadMenus --> Test
combo1_Click --> MainForm
sListAllDrives --> GlobalFunctions
Form_Activate --> MainForm

If I eject the disc and load up NuMenu, it goes away. It's not a big problem but just thought I would post it, thanks.

[Zeul]

New release , several bug fixes and some improvements

[Zeul]

Updated to 2.0.10a - quick correction

[Oruku Saki]

Like a few others have mentioned, I haven't had NuMenu4u be able to start up more than one CCE pass (CCE versions 2.66.01.07 and 2.67.00.27) since version 2.0.6 was released. It only does the initial analyze and then skips the following 5. I've tried every release since 2.0.5 with no luck. I've attached a zip of log and ecl files from NM4U v2.0.5 and 2.0.10a using CCE 2.67 (I split up the 2.0.5 ecl files into 25 assets per file for easier comparison with the later version files). I can provide more files if needed.. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

[Zeul]

just to confirm that in DIF4U you do have multipass VBR set up in the avs script editor

[Oruku Saki]

Ah.. you're absolutely right.. I missed that completely. Out of curiosity why was the multipass happening with the older version when DIFU was set on roba? Thanks again.

[Zeul]

I am still unsure how Roba works, so NuMenu deaults to multipass instead

[Oruku Saki]

hmm.. i can set multipass no problem in dif4u, but when nm4u opens, I look at the avs settings and it is back on roba, and only one pass happens..

[Zeul]

avs settings?
i have tried so many combinations of cce encoder from dif4u and every time multipass is set then i get the #of passes i wanted. If roba is selected then the same.
What version of CCE are you using?
The numenu4u encoder settings are not used, if numenu4u has been started by dif4u, Whatever options are selected in dif4u will be used.
Please confirm that if multipass or roba is set in dif4u and the #of passes is set to 6 then cce only runs once. I presume that your cce version is not a basic version (this only has 1 pass plus the vaf creation)

[Oruku Saki]

using CCE SP trial version 2.67.0.27 - tried both multipass and roba in dif4u, with various # of passes.. still only one pass by CCE. i can get multipass to work on numenu4u 2.05 and earlier just fine though

[Zeul]

I am using the exact same build.
On encoding start i get the cce screen showing pass 1 / 1 while it creates the vaf file. then it clears and restarts with pass 1 / 5.

Total passes = 6

If yours is different send me the log & ecl file

[Oruku Saki]

right.. that exactly what i get if i reinstall 2.05 and earlier.. its bizarre.. i don't get the clear and restart for 5 more passes with the later versions. cce just goes on to the next in queue - 1/1 pass only.

i will get back to you with the log and ecl soon -- in the meantime thanks for all the great work

[Zeul]

new build
Current release is now 2.0.11

[Oruku Saki]

sorry, still same issue with new release. here is the log and ecl (log goes up to the point when eclcce is called) - let me know if theres anything else i can do

[TuRiSOft]

It is 2.0.11 , isn't it? I just finished to DL it !!!

[Zeul]

oops. i have corrected that

@Oruku

Please send me the log & ecl (the address is under support)

[TuRiSOft]

I want to pop up a little prob. It was there in v.2.0.10 and it is still there in 2.0.11 .

with Harry Potter 1 reg 2 Pal DVD1 if I remux w/MuxMan an error will pop up during the phase when NuMenu re-adds the command infos in the newly authored files (even if I do or don't reencode assets).
Working w/Scenarist does not give any error. I tried all settings.
I also noticed that if I want to keep my settings I got to tick and change all I want (I use to add some filters on AviSynth section) and then close the app. , 'cause if I don't do so and for whatever cause the app crashes (like in the case above) it not retains all the changes I made.

Hoping to be helpful , I can retry all the procedures above and send you the logs and any helpful info , if you want.
I'm asking here what to do only to not fill your mailbox with garbage.
Thanks a lot.

[D3s7]

Make sure you have the latest build of muxman....

or wait a few days for the new build of .15 which fixes quite a few issues

.14 had a few issues w/ navigation packs and wierd bmp locations that caused problems

[mpucoder]

If this is the problem Zeul identified and was fixed with 0.15pd then the latest public version, 0.14e, contains the same fix. It is going through final testing right now and should be available for download in an hour.

Just to point it out I'm using Muxman v0.14d....

The issue I was referring to yes.. that's the one zeul found

[mvfarmer]

when numenu get's to the point "Converting SubPictures" in the log window, i get an error from vsconv. It says "Error: Can't open input" and i can then press OK. i press the butten, and now it shows how to use vsconv (switches)
It pops up a couple of times, then says that the converting is done and goes on like it's ok
Don't think it's and numenu error, but i can't get i to work and its not just one movie, it's all of those i have tryed.

Any ideas?
just tell me if you need more info.

It happened to me many many times , but only after I tried to restart a process (from the beginning , dest dir deleting included) without closing the session.
The only workaround I found for this is to close then re-open NuMenu.

Don't know what is it related with!!

[Zeul]

@TuRiSOft
If the problem persists with the new muxman build (14e) then please send me the log file.

@mvfarmer
Not seen that error before. Please send me the log and entire subtitles folder.

@Oruku Saki

I have received your files and am investigating
edit:
I have found the problem and i think it is DIF4U. In this latest build i decided to inc the c/l that DIF4U uses:

DIF4U CommandLine=/start /path="C:\dvd\life" /threshold=25 /drive=F /passes=5 /avebitrate=2000 /minimize /deinterlace /cceo /ccev /close

/cceo /ccev are both written.
One is for onepass, the other vbr multipass

now this needs further investigation. What version of DIF4U are you running. I have most so can hopefully replicate. Please state ALL of your exact settings in DIF4U also. thanks
NM it is build 1.4.0 (the public release build)
I have tested each setting - onepass, multipass, roba. Each time /cceo /ccev is written regardless.

So 2 things are possible. One is upgrade your DIF4U version (requires donation) or 2nd I can release a build with options to override dif4u settings (although i don't want to do this).

Perhaps Eyes' can shed some thoughts.

Yes , of course. It (0.14e) has to be out from about 3 hours but it isnt yet!!

[Zeul]

it is available now - just checked on the muxman homepage

[mvfarmer]

The files have been sendt

@mvfarmer
I have at least one problem. This vob has over 500 cells. Not a problem except that the vob created by dvddecrypter contains 255 cells, then the cell# is reset to 1. I think this is a dvddecrypter error.
What version of dvddec are you using? I thought this bug had been fixed a longtime a go.

Try opening the actual videoTS folder instead of the iso (ie press the open folder button). Make sure that pgcdemux is installed in the numenu folder.
PGCDemux will demux out each cell.

I have a disc here somewhere that >700 cells but i can't find it right now to test (always the way eh!)

[mvfarmer]

ok, i will try looking at it, and give back info
